In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “#Litterati” is a common card of the Memes World series 75, number 22336 of the collection, and the 201st best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “#Litterati” meme mean?
This movement expresses concrete, participatory environmental awareness. It transforms cleaning chores into a visible, shared act, fostering civic pride rather than guilt. The dominant emotion is positive engagement: showing that a small individual gesture, documented digitally, contributes to a global solution against street and nature pollution.
Where does the “#Litterati” meme come from?
The #Litterati project was initiated by American entrepreneur Jeff Kirschner in the summer of 2012. During a family walk in Oakland, his daughter spotted a discarded cat litter bin in a stream. This observation prompted Kirschner to photograph waste and post these images on Instagram under the hashtag #Litterati. The YouTube video titled 'Litterati – Where it all Started', published on March 27, 2013, presents the project's origins, although the exact context of its creation remains unknown. The precise dates of the first photo or Instagram post are not verified. The term refers to a practice of photographing, geolocating, and identifying trash before collecting it. This approach quickly gathered an international community on Instagram, evolving later into a dedicated app and digital platform for analyzing collected pollution data.
