All of it: the words, the place, the proof
First Creek drains east Tacoma's neighborhoods into the Puyallup River, and its banks collect a steady load of litter and dumped bags between cleanups. Without a count, nobody knows which stretches load fastest or whether cleanups are gaining ground. A monthly transect walk turns that into data.
Fund it for $152. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Walk the same fixed 400-meter public-path transect along First Creek each month.
- Count and categorize visible litter items (bags, bottles, bulky items) by 50-meter segment without entering the water or steep banks.
- Note any new dumping piles and their locations for the removal crew.
- Enter counts into one running transect sheet.
- Photograph each segment and any dump piles, GPS-tagged and dated.
What counts as done
- Photos of each 50-meter segment
- Completed count sheet with categories
- GPS coordinates and date
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Watershed Health. A watershed is everything the land pours into a stream, and the stream keeps the record. The EPA's bioassessment method reads that record through the small creatures living in the gravel: mayflies and caddisflies mean clean water, only worms and midges mean trouble. Mastery looks like a person who can wade one riffle with a net and tell you how the whole valley is doing. That skill is built sample by sample. This packet is one of them: one site, one careful count, one entry in the long record of a stream.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1789691973608_pz9swa7","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
