On June 6, the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) hosted its annual urban sustainability app competition in which eight teams competed to create tools that help build a more environmentally and economically sustainable Chicago. Founders Fellow Elizabeth Zubiate and her team won the competition with Purshable, an app that builds demand for close-to-expiration food that grocery stores would normally throw away. The app markets the food to low-income and environmentally conscious consumers with the added benefit of providing additional revenue to the grocers.
