Keep the weekly fenceline air-and-odor log around Altgeld Gardens, from public space only.

Altgeld Gardens, the far-south Chicago public-housing community where environmental-justice organizing was born, is ringed by landfills, industrial sites, and the Calumet waterways, residents named it the 'toxic doughnut' decades ago. Conditions are only as accountable as their public record. A steady weekly log of odors, visible emissions, dust, and truck activity from public vantage points is citizen evidence regulators and journalists can use.

Pay

$160 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Fixed-route observation log with GPS-dated photos per stop

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Walk a fixed route of public vantage points around the community's industrial edges at a consistent time.
2. At each point, record odor type and strength, any visible dust or plumes, and heavy-truck activity.
3. Note wind direction and weather at each stop.
4. Never enter, touch, or sample any site, water, or soil, observe and record only.
5. Photograph conditions at each vantage point with GPS and date on and append the log to the running record.

What counts as done

• Completed route log with odor, dust, and truck observations per stop
• GPS-and-date-stamped photo at each vantage point
• Wind and weather notes
• Running-record append confirmation

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
