What it does
A web application displaying statistics on carbon emissions by product category and vendor
A mobile application saving user information on purchases and calculating individual carbon outputs
How we built it
Our front end involves a mobile application using node.js and react-native. This is were users are able to add transactions or purchases and view their individual statistics. The front end also includes a desktop website that displays statistics on the user base as a whole, displaying total carbon emissions by purchase category and vendor.
The back end is built off a python flask web framework which is running the web application and carrying out the computations calculation user and user base statistics. User data is being stored in a MongoDB and accessed through the flask framework.
What's next for Carbon3
The next step is to integrate our program directly into the university system. The current implementation requires scanning a user bar code to track every purchase which can be streamlined by automatically adding transactions done through the university into the user database.
