Inspiration

We are inspired by a cup of hot chocolate. One Saturday afternoon, when we were brainstorming about the project for this hackathon at McDonald's, Jenny ordered a hot chocolate. However, we disposed of the coffee cup after using it, which is not environmentally friendly. In addition, we notice students mainly use plastic or paper cups when dining on the campus. Therefore, we decided to build an app that helps to recycle the cups when we order drinks at the cafe.

What it does

"Cups Adventure" program is designed to encourage students to reduce the amount of disposable cups and promote a more sustainable campus. Reusable cups would be circulated around the campus through borrowing and returning, and sustainability credits could be earned with rewards redeemable after each circulation.

Activities when you embark on a Cup Adventure:

• Borrow : Borrow a cup from your favorite vendor!
• Return: Return the cup before embarking on a new adventure.
• Save the earth: Every time you use a reusable cup, mother earth hugs you very tight to show her thanks
