So glad I saw this AMA! As a PRT major working for a municipal govt, I have noticed that many organizations are clueless when it comes to understanding, and by extension managing, our shared outdoor resources. A couple related questions:
What are some of the ways in which you quantify your trash survey data, and how do you ensure consistency of your methods?
Do you collect qualitative trail user data as part of this survey, and if so, what is your strategy to make sure you are hearing a wide variety of voices?
Finally, how do you "make a living" doing this work? Are you contracted, do you sell your data to public entities, are you making your own way as a non-profit? Sorry if some of those options are reductive, I'm just personally interested!
