Global Nominee

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?

What is our Carbon Footprint?

Summary

Our project uses data which is obtained from various valid sources and platforms and presents them in a way which is understandable by common people and the prototype of the application takes in the data from user and uses it to give the solution.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We have developed a tool which calculates the number of trees that are needed to be planted in a region to maintain a balanced carbon level based on the amount of carbon emission. This is important in order to maintain a balanced environment and reduce global warming. The code asks user to input the amount of carbon emissions in his location and uses its complex algorithm to give the user a solution in the form of the number of trees required to absorbed the amount of carbon emitted in the region.

How We Developed This Project

Climate changes like Australian forest fires and heat waves have been hitting the Earth recently and has left out its ill effects on this planet amid the Corona virus pandemic. Our main or most probably the biggest concern right now is climate that has undergone drastic changes since few years now. Hence we decided to choose this topic of recording/keeping track of the carbon footprint in such a way that bring about a social awareness amongst the public.


We hope to bring about a small change in our society by promoting afforestation in our respective homes that can help in absorbing the amount of carbon dioxide present in our atmosphere.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

we used the data which is provided by the space agency like the carbon emission details which was identified using the satellites, and the other tools which are present in on the webpage to get the information. we also used carbon emission details and records of various space programme.
