NEA Hackathon

General piles of ideas

• DEAD CHICKEN RICE - REPORT AND BROWSE OTHER DEAD ANIMALS, UNSAVOURY FOOD EXPERIENCES HERE?
• DIELAH! - there's cleanlah, trafficlah, so why not DieLah also?
• GREENSPIRATION! - gamify green+inspiration, but seriously will people get into greenspiration?
• FREECYCLE ON A PHONE APP - matching people in a phone (how is this not freecycle? why can't i just go on a freecycle mobile website instead?)
• KICKGREEN - post your good stuff, get points (zonghuan's pitch)
• GET PAID TO RECYCLE - gamify recycling, because, you know recycling is one of the big rituals of modern life
• NEGATIVE ERP SCHEME - give cyclist perks (gamifying cycling so more people cycle instead of driving) - surely someone could make a runkeeper for cycling that records all your travels whether cycling or driving and offsets it and gives you score each week for how much you cycled in comparision to driving?
• things i like in concept which i dont know how it is related to all this yet
