World Water Day is March 22. At JMP, we carefully track our environmental footprint, and we are so proud of our customers who use data analytics to make a difference in the world. As part of our Data for Green initiative and Discovery Summit Europe – our feature event for JMP users to learn and connect – we invite you to join us to mark World Water Day 2022 by cleaning up your street, neighborhood or park. Litter thoughtlessly thrown on the ground or in the water clogs up waterways and contaminates groundwater. Protecting groundwater is the focus of this year's World Water Day.

Collect litter starting today until March 22

Starting today until March 22, JMP staff and customers, and anybody who would like to participate are invited to join our Discovery Summit Cleanup. This is how it works:

Take a walk around your neighborhood. It does not matter if you live in a city, in the country, or near water. You can do this alone, with a friend, family member or colleague. Collect trash you see in a trash bag.
Please be safe and use gloves or garbage tongs. Weigh the trash you collected (with a regular scale by weighing yourself with and without the trash), or a luggage scale.
For every kilo of trash we all collect, JMP will donate 2 EUR to The Ocean Cleanup, an innovative organization from Rotterdam, Netherlands. We also encourage every participant to donate to this cause.
Take a few minutes to fill out the form. Tell us where you are and what kind of trash you found.

Mahmoud Hammoud (@mhammoud), JMP Sr. Systems Engineer, is analyzing the data you share. You can view the dashboard and track our progress which will be updated hourly on JMP Public.

Register today for Discovery Summit Europe and tune in on March 22 at 11:30 CET to hear about the results.
