Inspiration

We want to make sure no one gets infected by COVID-19 through cigarette butts.

What it does

In order to avoid cigarette butts from ending up in nature, we can create ashtrays that are designed to degrade cigarette butts completely. This can be done through the use of fungi which has been proven to degrade the cellulose acetate and toxins in a cigarette. Additionally, we will create an application to locate the ashtrays.

How I built it

CAD modeling, c++ for controlling sensors, javascript

Challenges I ran into

Implementation in community

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Testing of the degradation of cigarette butts

What I learned

Idea needs more testing
