Inspiration
The thing that inspired me the most that when I saw the hidden disaster that is slowly destroying our mother nature that is, heat waves, glacier melting, tsunamis and so on. I thought and discovered that we ignored our small habit that is leading to such disastrous times. For this, I left my biology major for sometime and start doing coding to make every person aware of thier small habit that is releasing carbon dioxide and harming our environment.
What it does
It calculates the total carbon emissions, when you eat meat or drive car or how many bulbs you light up and so on, it calculates all the factors that emits carbon dioxide, then gives you a bar graph that shows all the data, and how much trees you need to plant to offset that emmision, if you can't plant that much trees you can re take and it will automatically compare and show you both bar graph how much you reduced the carbon emissions and how much trees you saved, it also gives tips on how to protect your environment. It makes you aware of how much you releasing carbon dioxide and how much it affects the environment.
How we built it
I used coding languages, I'm new to coding so I tried my best along with the help of Artificial intwlligence.
Challenges we ran into
As I did real time research in my school, many students either gave wrong data or they denied to give data, some didn't believe it, some call it waste of time but still I didn't give up.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Many top universities and professors considered the project and offered me to keep researching on the project alongside them.
What we learned
I learned that the small things we ignore becomes a big liability in future. So, it's never too late to take action.
What's next for Carbon Footprint Calculator /Ecocal
My plan is to enhance the project and introduce an app and also a website, where every single person know how they are affecting with thier carbon emissions.
