Clim8

Inspiration

We wanted to design something that seamlessly integrates into people's daily workflows and gives awareness to the environmental responsibility of companies.

What it does

This listens for cursor hover events and gets the company name from the website link being hovered over, and performs a lookup for that company's environmental responsibility score.

How we built it

We built it with HTML, CSS, Javascript, Papaparse, Express, Node.js, SQL, AWS, and Cohere

Challenges we ran into

It was hard picking an idea, whittling it down to something manageable, and sticking with it. We spent hours going back and forth on the fine details of what our project should be about, but in the end, we finally settled on something we liked. We had to learn a lot about the languages and tools we used to build this as we were largely unfamiliar with much of them.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We made a working web extension that met our goals of querying environmental responsibility scores from an external database, and using AI as a fallback when the company does not exist in our database. We are proud of adapting quickly to unexpected challenges.

What we learned

We learned a lot about web development, particularly about all of the tools and features we used and how they interacted with each other.

What's next for Clim8

We have a lot of future ideas for Clim8, like changing the html of a webpage directly to display the environmental responsibility score. We'd also like to display more detailed information about a company's score, such as displaying what factored into the score. We also have ideas on suggesting alternative companies to those with a bad score.
