Inspiration: Namit and I saw a YouTube video during lunch talking about how the earth is heating up because of rising carbon emissions. Around the same time, we were thinking about a hackathon project idea, so one thing led to another, and we decided on this.

What it does: The Carbon Footprint Tracker has you input your daily tasks. It then measures the amount of carbon emissions you produce. After 30 days of you sharing your daily tasks (reset) daily, the website gives you your top 3 carbon emitters and ways you can reduce them.

How we built it: We built it using the platform VS Code. In addition, we used the help of the Codex extension.

Challenges we ran into: Some challenges we ran into were figuring out how to code certain things by hand, such as creating an account and exporting a PDF of the 30 days of carbon tracking. For these, we had to resort to using codex.

Accomplishments that we're proud of: We are both very proud of coding the speedometer that tracks how much carbon you used that day. We also had to build our patience because this was a long project with several setbacks. We gained a lot of mental grit.

What we learned: We learned more about coding JavaScript, which was fairly new for us, and to be honest, we really figured out the usefulness of codex.

What's next for Carbon Footprint Tracker: We want to add a friends-list type element, which lets you connect with your friends and compete against them.
