    - - Trash sorting game
        
        Initially opens a game title screen with 'play' button, high score and next goal
        
        At first, title screen background is dirty, polluted and has a lot of trash lying around -- as the user sorts more trash and reaches new goals, the title screen starts to become more clean and eventually the background is pristine and green with animals and sunshine (reward for player) -- badges also shown to indicate the number of goals that have been reached
        
        Press play button
        
        Countdown begins (1 minute) -- when countdown ends, the user's score will be shown and a button to go back to the main app will be displayed
        
        Different trash items will fall into the screen one at a time; the different coloured bins will be shown in a line at the bottom
        
        Tapping the correct bin will add 10 points to score and the game will move on to the next rubbish item, tapping an incorrect bin will show a cross and subtract the relevant number of points -- the item will remain on screen until the user selects the correct bin

        User should select the number of people in their household and whether their appliances + taps are water efficient (to get most accurate results)

      - Calculation of the approximate amount of water and money the user can save if they make the selected changes in their home — multiply the amount of water/money saved through doing each action by the number of people in the household, and calculate the total sum of water/money saved together
