Scenario 2: Family Competing in Community Challenge

User: The Rodriguez family (parents and two children) wanting to reduce household waste

Want: The family wants to participate in a neighborhood sustainability challenge and learn how to reduce their overall waste.

System Facilitation:

1. Mr. Rodriguez creates a family team account in the Zero Waste Challenge app.
2. They join the "Green Neighborhood Challenge" which runs for 6 weeks.
3. Each family member tracks their personal waste (e.g., Mrs. Rodriguez logs "food waste: 1.2 kg" on Thursday, their son logs "paper waste: 5 sheets" on Monday).
4. The app combines their efforts into a family score and shows their position on the neighborhood leaderboard.
5. The Rodriguez family receives a notification that they're falling behind in the "food waste" category.
6. They browse the app's tips section and find meal planning strategies to reduce food waste.
7. By implementing these tips, they reduce their food waste by 40% in the following week.
8. The app awards them "Most Improved Family" badge, moving them up in the challenge rankings.
9. After the challenge ends, the app shows them their total waste reduction (75 kg) and suggests new sustainable habits to maintain their progress.
