Hello Compost is a composting service that enables the exchange of food for food waste in working-class communities. 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 appeal to the human drive to compete.
