Describe the challenge you want to address:

I want to address the issue of dirty streets. Dirty streets bring down interest in foot traffic to a specific area and neighborhood, this ultimately impacts small businesses and the local economy of the neighborhood. Other than lost revenue it also is pretty disgusting and environmentally harmful, think of it as a way to both improve economic output and make it livable for the residents.

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

Create an initiative that involves folks from the neighborhood in helping cleaning the streets and make it a teaching lesson for young kids and explain the harmfulness of not keeping the streets clean and the ecological damages this could cause.
