Inspiration

Our inspiration comes from the growing problems of global warming, climate change and environmental pollution. Many people are unaware that their everyday activities, such as electricity consumption, transportation and food choices, contribute to carbon emissions. We wanted to create a simple and smart solution that helps people understand their environmental impact and encourages them to adopt eco-friendly habits. This inspired us to develop CarbonWise AI.

What it does

CarbonWise AI is an AI-powered platform that helps users calculate, track and reduce their personal carbon footprint.

Its main features include:

  • Calculates estimated carbon emissions from electricity, transportation and food.
  • Tracks users' daily environmental activities.
  • Provides personalized AI-based suggestions to reduce carbon emissions.
  • Displays a green dashboard with charts and emission statistics.
  • Tracks progress and encourages sustainable lifestyle choices.

How we built it

We planned CarbonWise AI as a beginner-friendly web application using modern web technologies.

  • HTML: Created the structure of the website.
  • CSS: Designed a clean, attractive and eco-friendly green interface.
  • JavaScript: Implemented carbon emission calculations and interactive features.
  • Chart.js: Used for visualizing emissions through graphs and charts.
  • AI recommendation system: Designed to provide personalized suggestions based on users' activities. We focused on making the platform simple, interactive and easy to use.

Challenges we ran into

During the development process, we identified several challenges:

  • Understanding how daily activities contribute to carbon emissions.
  • Finding suitable emission factors for electricity, transportation and food.
  • Designing accurate and understandable carbon calculations.
  • Connecting different modules into one working application.
  • Making the dashboard visually attractive and user-friendly.
  • Creating useful recommendations based on user inputs. We addressed these challenges by dividing the project into smaller modules and focusing on a simple, practical implementation.
