Pokémon GO developer, Niantic, has today announced that it is working on “host[ing] the most coordinated cleanups in a 48-hour period” for Earth Day. The globally coordinated events will allow players to make the planet a more beautiful place and also receive some special Pokémon GO unlocks.
Niantic shared the news on the Pokémon GO website.
As for the rewards, there are two tiers:
- 1,500 players cleaning up trash:
- Unlock 2x Stardust when catching Ground, Water, and Grass-type Pokémon
- 3,000 players cleaning up trash:
- Unlock 3x Stardust when catching Ground, Water, and Grass-type Pokémon
With millions of players worldwide, these numbers seem really doable. If there’s not a local non-profit hosting an event near you, Niantic even has a form set up to make suggestions.
