Inspiration
Coming from agricultural roots, I hear the troubles that farmers go through to ensure that food production is not damaged. Right now the farmers are most effected, and if not slowed Climate Change will cause food supply issues for everyone. My inspiration for this project is to stop that from happening
What it does
GreenPlate finds restaurants near the user and provides them with an environments score and gives the use the information they need in order to make a more eco-friendly food choice.
How we built it
We used the Django Framework along with IP-API-Geolocation framework along with HTML CSS and Javascript frontend.
Challenges we ran into
We had some challenges getting the API to work, we solved this by combing through the documentation for nearly an hour.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the design aspect that fits well with the theme of the website and provides a user friendly experience.
What we learned
We learned how to better incorporate APIs into our projects and how much easier they make developing projects
What's next for Green Plate
We are looking to opensource the database of eco-scores so that we can grow the utility of Green Plate faster.
