Map_CO2

Inspiration -It’s a well-known fact that excessive amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) cause global warming and water acidity. Both products endanger marine life and human life as well ,so in order to reduce the amount of green house gases emitted from transportation we need to calculate carbon footprint.

What it does-A carbon footprint solution allows individuals and organizations to monitor the amount of carbon dioxide emitted as a result of their everyday activities. if you want to know the carbon impact of your movements, input your travel logs, the mode of transport, and the app will show the possible CO2 emission for your trip.

How we built it - Calculating carbon footprint revolves around evaluating everyday travelling activities against their effects on the environment. For instance, if you cycled or walked to work, you leave a lesser carbon footprint as compared to a person who drove.

Manually calculating carbon footprint is difficult and tiresome. For this reason, you need a carbon footprint calculator. Let’s take a closer look at how the solution works:

•The app calculates the daily, monthly, and yearly amount of carbon emissions created by the user’s travel choices. •Daily, the app ask about the user’s preferred mode of transport and type of fuel used. •Users are presented with suggestions for alternative, more sustainable modes of transport to help them make conscious low-carbon travel choices. •Users compete in minimizing their carbon footprint through leaderboards. This encourages sustainable transport decisions, resulting in reduced CO2 emissions.

Challenges we ran into- It may be hard to give a price estimate of the project as many factors come into play. For example, the number of developers, the amount of features, whether the tracker is a custom independent solution or an integration into an existing solution.

Accomplishments that we're proud of -realized how your actions contribute to global warming or water acidity, you may want to reduce your carbon footprint and make more sustainable travel decisions.

What we learned - The carbon footprint calculator helps people be more aware of their contribution to the current environmental problem and what they can do to lessen their impact on the environment.

What's next for Map_CO2 - It also calculates CO2 emissions abatement if a person switches from a conventional Vehicle to an EV.
