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?

Clibomate

Summary

Our project is Clibomate. We are using Internet of things, Machine Learning, AWS and a website. we are using various IoT gas sensors in a box controlled by ESP32. The device will be fitted to local goverment vehicles. Wherever the vehicles goes it will collect the ground data of green house gas emission and will send it to SDE's, WHO and environmental agencies using AWS to keep tract of the area that emitts more pollution. We have also developed a website to make people aware about the Climate Change and its effects with stats. The website is shows how It has affected the world. It also awares people about the carbon footprint and how can one reduce their carbon footprint.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Our team has come up with an idea which we have named as Clibomate. We are using Internet of things, Machine Learning, AWS and a website. we are using various IoT gas sensors in a box controlled by ESP32. The device will be fitted to local goverment vehicles. Wherever the vehicles goes it will collect the ground data of green house gas emission and will send it to SDE's, WHO and environmental agencies using AWS to keep tract of the area that emitts more pollution. But our main motive is to put this device on Government vehicles which covers several places in a day around a particular region which help us to get the real-time data of greenhouse gases according to the locations in various time slots. 


Now, the question arises that what can we do with this data or how can we utilize it. So, we are going to provide this data to the NGOs, WHO and other welfare groups who are willingly seeking the opportunity to save our precious gift of nature for the future generation. This data from us will help them to customize their service according to the graph represented by our ML Algorithm, which highlights those areas crossing some particular threshold values and need to perform required actions.


Also, we are building a website which draws attention or aware people regarding the drawbacks they are going to face for ignoring our beautiful nature. Carbon Dioxide is the main reason for the greenhouse effect. That's why we include all the latest stats with graph and images, also have the carbon footprint calculator. This calculator helps one to calculate their carbon footprint which tells them about their emission of carbon per day, which enables you to take some initial steps to adapt to a changing world and creating a more resilient business. Besides, we are providing them with our policy, solution and measure, which they can follow to control the emission of carbon per day.


Statistics which we include in our website is in a predicted form. We have taken the dataset for the emission of carbon since the past 10 years. We had performed our ML model on that data to predict the rate of carbon emission for the future and made a graphical representation of that. That prediction in the form of graph helps our user to understand how disastrous this ignorance can lead to our future.


We have also proposed a policy to reduce Green House Gases.

How We Developed This Project

As we know Climate Change is a major concern and most of us are not aware about this. Out moto was to make people aware about the climate change and carbon footprint. We have also come up with a unique idea to keep record of ground data using IoT sensors. Right now we are using a MQ 2 sensor but for a real life implementation we will other gas sensors also.


Tools used are: Internet of things, AWS, Machine Leaning, HTML, CSS, JS.

Coding languages used: C++, Python, JavaScript.

Hardware Used: ESP 32, MQ 2 and MQ 135.


Major problem was connecting all those stuff with each other. We faced a lot of problem in integrating but lastly we made it will all our efforts.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We have used data for Prediction of change in climate, temperature and sea level. We also used data of pollution for machine learning and prediction of AQI. we also used data for carbon footprint calculation.
