Inspiration

Climate change is a critical issue, and there are many everyday actions we could all take to help protect our environment. Our project provides a bridge for every one of us to take small but significant steps to contribute.

What it does

Get your carbon emissions amount based on your household's:

  • Electricity usage

  • Fuel consumption
  • Car usage
  • Food items and weights

How we built it

  • Figma: prototype of webpage frontend
  • Flask: web application development

Challenges we ran into

  • Learning new technology stacks
  • Finding relevant and proper data to perform calculations

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a prototype using Figma using what was learned in the hackathon workshop
  • Built the web application using Flask

What we learned

  • How to turn an idea into a product
  • Collaborating between teammates remotely
  • Soft and technical skills

What's next for Ontario Carbon Tracker

  • Incorporate real-time tracking of the inputs so that the user won't have to manually input values
  • Expand data to outside of Ontario
