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

Basically , the total amount of greenhouse gases produced(directly/indirectly) to support "Mankind" is called carbon footprint.It is expressed in equivalent tons of (CO2).For Example, A man uses GHG's in different activities in his daily life then sum of all the usages is his carbon footprint .The best way to analyse is by calculating emission of gases from burned fuels.As this emmision of gas takes lion's share in Green-House Effects .We came together to alter present situation in the good way by giving asolution to reduce carbon footprint .Our solution is to add artificial chloroplast into the wallpaints as a constituent which absorb theghg's and may emit O2 in presence of Sunlight.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We developed an idea to reduce "GHG'S" .Our basic idea is to prepare paints with artificial chloroplast as one of its constituent element .Tint the paint on any outer surfaces like buildings ,cars, etc. Chloroplast will capture the oxides of the carbon. Hypothetically it may emit oxygen

in presence of sunlight. It may decrease a little activity of GHG's in environment.

How We Developed This Project

As everyone in present society are facing a problem to breathe fresh air , a drastic change in the climatic conditions and increase in pollution. We initiate a little step towards clean environment. We faced a little problem to gather genuine data and delay in accessing data from NASA resources.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We have used this data to predict temperature changes by building machine learning model.We used Nasa satellite data for data visualization through API to analyse temperature variations.
