What we tell the person doing it

The doer can ask anything in the app and gets an instant answer from the deed itself. A few they ask most:

What photo proof do you need?

Never depict anyone who appears vulnerable (e.g. unhoused, distressed, or a child). Capture a BEFORE and AFTER of the same stretch of shoreline. Photograph the collected litter (the bag), not any people on the beach.
How much do I get paid?

Do I need to keep people out of frame?
No identifiable people, ever. Photograph the place, the items, or the result. If someone is in frame, reframe or blur before you send it.
