What Is Our Carbon Footprint?

Your challenge is to identify local sources of carbon emissions and/or estimate amounts of carbon emissions for different human activities to aid scientists in mapping carbon sources and sinks. How can you inform decisions to adapt to the consequences of a changing world and aid policy makers in making plans for the future?

Carbon Free App

Summary

The CarbonFree project, is a tool created to help the problem of increased global emission of CO2. Through this unique platform that unites the stimulus to community integration and reduce individual carbon footprint.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We have created an app that aims to reduce CO2 emissions in a community way.

In it, the user will be able to: learn about what the carbon footprint is, calculate their own footprint; find out why you need to worry about it now; see how the current situation of CO2 emissions is, according to NASA data; find ways to help the situation, mainly, through the consumption of local products


How We Developed This Project

We chose this challenge because we understand how important it is to be environmentally conscious about our sustainable habits. To approach the challenge of informing people about it, we developed an app that stimulates community integration and reduces individual carbon footprint and using the NASA data we were able to show and informe you about the best choices to have a carbon free life!

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

The available NASA data was used so we could have an understanding of the Carbon emission situation and its consequences.

We also used the data in our app, in order to inform our users about:


Why the increase in carbon emissions is a bad thing

Why the emission of CO2 is increasing

What are the impacts of higher levels of CO2

What they can do to change the situation
