SellOTree

Inspiration

Due to massive commercialization, we are somewhere neglecting our mother Earth. Environment's CO2 level is increasing at an alarming rate. So, to deal with it we can perform our roles as a concerned citizen and take initiative towards making contributions for a better future.

What it does

This website aims towards raising funds for tree plantation and generates hope for the future. Every 20 Rupees contributed counts as a tree planted. Users can donate and make their contributions as well as they can also participate in the ongoing drives where we would link them to the various plantation drives. They can be involved individually or as a business group that may include flexible programs to fit company goals at reduced planting costs or even the children and teachers can get involved to increase awareness and educating children about the enormous impact that trees have on our planet. A separate contact us section is added so that users can directly connect in case of queries. They can also subscribe to the regular newsletter so that the latest drives and contributions could be spread as much as possible in turn boosting awareness. The main feature that this website includes is the donate section where the users can donate the amount that they see fit accordingly. A payment gateway integration would be added via which they can make a seamless payment to plant a tree.

How we built it

We created a website which would act as a web app for fund raising. The languages which we used were HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Challenges we ran into

Setting the appropriate amount for each tree plantation cost. But we did our research and analyzed certain surveys which helped to conclude the price. Also communicating with the team members remotely was a little bit challenging in the beginning but by the end we found our way.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Combining all the required sections to create a decent fund raiser platform where individuals/collaborators can make their contributions to preserve the future.

What we learned

The technicalities of payment gateway integration.

What's next for SellOTree

Establishing our own (SellOTree's) plantation drives and starting with the collaboration for generating nurseries. Selling biodegradable products in future is also in scope.
