Description

Overview

Purple Card Project will provide clean-up kits for community members interested in cleaning up their local area. These will include reusable gloves, buckets for landfill and recycling, a grabbing tool, and hand sanitiser. This project is designed to test several assumptions, including that community members are interested in small-scale change and would be willing to donate their time and/or money to it.

Purpose

  1. To test community interest in small scale action.
  2. To empower individuals to make a change in their local area and consequently activate their surrounding community to take action. 
  3. To highlight the power small changes can have on the community.

Long-term goal

To empower individuals to make a change in their local area and consequently activate their surrounding community to take action. It will be a small change, but an important one.
