Collector & mapmaker
“I used to collect plastic for 10 cents a kilo. Now CLITEDS pays triple, and I learned to build the sensors. I made the 3D map of my block. When the flood came, we knew where to run.”
James, 17, Kenya
Field stories
Plastic to protection: voices from collectors, parents, and fishers using CLITEDS mesh and maps.
Parent, camp hub
“My daughter built a bottle rocket and a paper flight computer from old plastic. She never went to school before. Now she teaches other kids staging and safety.”
Fatima
Fisher, mesh alert
“No signal, just mesh. Eight minutes to move my family uphill. We lost everything except ourselves. That warning came from a sensor made from trash.”
Ahmed, East African coast, Indian Ocean
