Inspiration Tracking personal carbon emissions can be difficult, as most online calculators only provide yearly estimates. That's why we created a mobile app that accurately tracks daily carbon emissions, making it easy for anyone to understand and reduce their impact on the environment.
What it does Our Daily Carbon Emissions Calculator tracks the carbon footprint of everyday activities, such as transportation, food, and shopping. Users simply input their daily choices, and the app calculates their carbon emissions in real-time.
How we built it We used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to almost create a simple, user-friendly interface. We researched the carbon emissions of various activities and products and used that data to create accurate calculations.
Challenges we ran into One of the biggest challenges was time constraints, as we had limited hours to work on the project. Additionally, ensuring accuracy in the calculations required extensive research and data collection.
Accomplishments that we're proud of We're proud of the idea and the potential impact it could have on the environment. We're also proud of the progress we made during the limited time we had, and the fact that we were able to create a functional prototype.
What we learned We learned the importance of focusing on attainable goals when working with limited time. We also gained a deeper understanding of the carbon emissions associated with everyday activities.
What's Next for Daily Carbon Emissions Calculator Our goal is to complete the app and make it available for download in app stores. We also plan to continue researching and updating the data used in our calculations and collaborating with my school's sustainability club to improve our app.
