In fact, people who pick up litter prefer a stable token price so that they reliably estimate how much they will be paid for their time and effort. As such, our community has voted to transition to a stablecoin model that simply pays people 1 $LTK (equivalent to $1.00) for every 25 pieces of litter picked up.\n\nWe are exploring a multi-chain approach for our stablecoin and are considering blockchains like Optimism, Celo, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon & Ethereum as the blockchain homes for the new Litter Token stablecoin.\n\n\u23f0 Moving forward, our biggest focus is funding. We have no shortage of people who are eager to pick up litter in exchange for compensation. Instead, we must ensure that our fundraising efforts are faster than our efforts to pick up litter. We will continue to rely on the generosity of the Quadratic Funding community and we will also seek to diversify our funding sources by tapping into Corporate Donations and Grant Funding more.\n\n**IMPACT**\n\n[![IMG-7762.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/zX5nfqYM/IMG-7762.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/K4qKqSzr)\n\n\ud83d\udcc8 *GHG Impact:* The rough estimate of the greenhouse gas (GHG) impact from picking up 90,246 pieces of litter is approximately 20,305 kg of CO2 equivalents saved.\n\n\ud83c\udf0e *Countries Impacted:* Brazil, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Colombia, USA, Dominican Republic, South Africa, Philippines & Puerto Rico\n\n\ud83d\udcd2 *Impact Reports:* We publish a quarterly impact report including a clear breakdown of how we are using funds and our current financial situation.
