Pokémon Go emerged as a popular location-based augmented reality mobile game, and the unique way the game connects players to the physical world is set to be explored for a garbage collection event this Earth Day in April.
Pokémon GO Earth Day Cleanup events are set to be held across various cities and users are invited to sign up to help do their part for the environment and at the same time, unlock special avatars and in-game rewards. If a certain number of players participate, there will be in-game bonuses available to collect for a limited time—the incentive is especially appealing for fans of the game.
As the various Earth Day events across the country are being run by local, non-governmental organizations, each partner will be responsible for handling the trash collected in an appropriate manner.
