The demand for proper waste disposal has become increasingly urgent. While powerful organizations and corporate giants are to be held accountable for the majority of carbon emissions， we can still do our part in reducing our carbon footprints.1In the small city of Dapitan， Zamboanga del Norte， an app called Hakoot is looking to solve this problem.

2Both lovers of nature， they were first inspired to create the app because of a debate in a Facebook group in Dapitan city about garbage collection problems.

Efren recounts， “When we looked at it， we thought we can do something about this. So we started to think of some solutions. We tried to validate（證實） this problem based on our research. It's not just isolated in Dapitan.3 ”

Efren explains， “ 4One for the garbage collectors， and one for the residents， where they can do real-time monitoring. The garbage collectors will do the garbage collection and they will be able to see the location and the type of garbage the residents will be disposing. At the same time， the end-user will be able to monitor the garbage collectors' location， when it will arrive， and the distance from his location.”

It is noted that it is still up to the individual to segregate. With the pressing issue of climate change， proper garbage disposal can greatly reduce our carbon footprints. Efren says， “It's a huge part of it.5Every day we consume. Therefore， more or less， we produce waste. If that's not handled properly， then there's no recycling， then we need to reproduce more stuff.”

C. All of the locals want to get rid of garbage.

D. Garbage collection is a daily activity.
