Inspiration
We were inspired by the current situation of our Earth, and how big changes need to be made to ensure that future generations can live here. However, as a teen, we often think "Well I'm just one person, what can I do?". In response to that, we created this website to inform people about the impact they have on the Earth as "just one person" and how the small changes they make to their lifestyle really can make a difference.
What It Does
This website allows you to calculate your level of carbon emissions based on your lifestyle. Based on the amount of carbon emissions you produce, there are personalized suggestions on how to make changes in order to reduce your carbon footprint.
How We Built It
We built it with HTML and Javascript.
Challenges We Ran Into
When we were building this, we could not figure out how to change the font of the function, so that the font of the questions matched the font of the rest of the page. We also had figure out how to use the select element on HTML and create a dropdown menu too.
Accomplishments That We're Proud Of
We are proud of our carbon emission calculator because it took us a while to figure out how to code that, so when we finally did it was amazing.
What We Learned
We are all just starting in the world of coding, so we were able to learn a lot from this project. We learned how to use the select element, how to change the font or background color of the page and how to create a dropdown menu.
What's Next for Reducing Carbon Footprint
Reducing Carbon Footprint can be always be changed and improved. We could add more pages to our website that talk about living a sustainable life in general, not just limited to reducing one's carbon footprint. The pages would continue to teach people about small and realistic changes they can make in their lives to really make a difference for our Earth.
