Sustaining Our Planet for Future Generations
There is concern worldwide that environmental issues we face today will have an impact on future generations. Your challenge is to create a way to communicate the importance of environmental responsibility to people of all ages.
CARBON FOOTPRINT CALCULATOR
Summary
The main purpose of our project is to make the users aware about all the surprising factors that contribute to the amount of energy the person consume, because once you know what uses a lot of energy, you will know better how to reduce your footprint, and how to save yourself some cash too. We made a tool to calculate carbon footprint using CSS, HTML, jQuery, and JavaScript . It also notifies users of what the highest footprint activities are , and how to mitigate them. We calculated the carbon footprint on the basis of the user's electricity bill , gas bill , total miles travelled via personal vehicle , total international vacations and whether they recycle their newspapers or not.
How We Addressed This Challenge
We have designed a web application which calculates an individual's carbon footprint. Carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide released in our atmosphere due to our daily activities. For calculating carbon footprint a lot of factors are taken into consideration like a certain amount of fuel or electricity. Using this web application would make the user aware about the amount of energy they are consuming and help them reduce it which would lead to sustainability.
How We Developed This Project
We developed our web application using basic CSS, HTML, jQuery, and JavaScript and hosted our website on github.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We used NASA satellite's urban carbon dioxide insights data to investigate factors that contributes to the amount of carbon dioxide released in atmosphere.
