Luke Keller a former Temple University Graduate and Aly Blenkin developed a multitiered composting system: Families put food waste into freezable, odor-blocking collection bags. Those bags go to Project EATS (a New York-based nonprofit focused on urban agriculture), where they are weighed and assigned a value that translates into credits for fresh produce, grown by local farmers. Project EATS uses an iPad app to track progress and gamify the program--banking on the human nature to compete, which makes tracking tools like Nike’s FuelBand so successful.
