What do you know about CityCamp NC 2014 Joulebug Community Storytelling?
Joulebug
mobile app about sustainability
track (more than 100) sustainable actions throughout the day
pins, badges toward points on leaderboard
can post pictures, people can comment and like them
partnership with City of Raleigh
geofence - capture local activity and stream to Open Data portal as heat map
how can we tell sustainable stories and encourage others to do sustainable actions?
photo map - of people's actions who have done a pin/badge already within map
compel other people to share their sustainability stories
sustainability needs more visibility, how use Joulebug data to tell a more compelling story
make census block group area map to show activity or inactivity - to compare
what does this amount to in savings? how many homes it could power - what is the offset in aggregate? rate of change?
opportunities to integrate with other social networks besides Facebook
(Instagram, etc.) - use a hashtag to get in
what are longer-term actions? install rain barrels, solar - measure impacts over time
share usage every month? enter data manually by user and track it over time
reminders built in? air filters - been a month, change it
bike to work - where is safe? something to sort data, connect with others who have done that activity; how to find carpool
the "amazon approach" - we noticed that you have a rain barrel, you might also want to invest in solar PV panels...
integrate with Nest and utilities data
if you spend $xxx on a new refrigerator, you would save $x per month
Foursquare - tracks searches by time, show it visually
care less about seeing an image of someone's water bottle than I do about sustainability data
it's an education process - competition factor or metric would keep me engaged; new to keep adding new stuff/levels to keep people engaged
XYZ is having a sale on compost this week
10 homeowners out of 100 come together and hire a subcontractor to fix things - new way to track things
people who have a lot of points can become a community leader, act as a resource for other people who are close by to crowd-source some of these issues
notifications about different kinds of materials pickups - hazardous waste events
this much trash/this much recycled at XX event
way to request recycling at a certain location as a crowd-sourced aspect
way for the City to track recycling at a restaurant?
Top Concepts:
energy calculators
show rates of change
census map
real-world metrics + data
measure data around events
impact over time, time progression of individuals
recommendation for other pins (you should try...)
