The Challenge:
Create a product that resolves a sustainable living issue using open data resources.
Solution:
Our first step was identifying what open data resources were available. We focused on New York City which has one of the most robust set of open-data available compared to other locations and metropolitan areas within the US.
Results:
We built a mobile responsive solution that allows NYC residents to locate convenient composting sites, track their own composting activity, view composting activity of local businesses and invite businesses to become active on the app in reporting their compost activity.
