Summary

DontFlush.me` is an application developed during `ecohackNYC` using CartoDB to help users visualize where their sewage is going, with the goal of reducing combined sewer overflows (CSOs) into New York City's Harbor. The app uses a simple SQL API call to retrieve data from CartoDB and displays the drainage areas and point locations of CSOs, providing users with an interactive tool to raise awareness about this environmental issue. By bringing a user-friendly interface and encouraging contest participation, `DontFlush.me` aims to educate users about the impact of CSOs on the harbor and promote sustainable practices during storms.
