Terra

Inspiration

We wanted to help people learn more about carbon emissions through a passive and simple way.

What it does

Terra is a google chrome extension that will provide relevant info on carbon emissions through the web pages you browse.

How I built it

I used plain ol' javascript to build the chrome extension, and express.js for the API that provides the extension the relevant info.

Challenges I ran into

This is my first time building and learning about chrome extensions.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Being able to see the extension popup and render the view I made :) Very simple, but it's nice to see.

What I learned

I learned more about google chrome extensions. Though, I wish I took some time to learn about it prior to the hackathon, so I can spend more time hacking than reading docs all day.

What's next for Terra

I will continue to build on top of the relevant info feature to do a better job at delivering the right info based on what web page you're browsing.

Also, I want Terra to detect online shopping and provide eco-friendly alternatives.
