PROJECT AVATAR

Summary

Inhale. Exhale. Again.I am a victim of the greenhouse gasses. I should be free to do whatever I want but I am now burdened to fix this century long disaster. Not only I, or my sister, or my cousins, no, all of us. The fate of the world and the mistake of the past is now passed unto us. It's not fair! Thus project AVATAR is born. It is the combination of a hardware and a software. It contains three sensors for Carbon dioxide, Methane, and Ozone Gas plus it also has a negative ion discharger for protection. It shows the user his/her environment and a map of greenhouse gasses hotspots. And it has a warning system if it reaches a certain level. Basically it Informs, updates, warns, and protect
