Capstone.1.-.CO2.Tracker.mp4
As Capstone 1 of Springboard's Software Engineering Career Track, CO2e Tracker is an database-driven app that allows users to record their activities along with corresponding CO2 emissions. Using Climatiq's API to calculate CO2e, four types of activities are available to be recorded: Flights, driving, and purchasing of new clothing or plastic bottles. The emission factor for purchasing includes the cradle-to-shelf product lifecycle. View Emission Descriptions
After registration, a user may add an activity via a form designated to one of the four activities available. Quantity of expenditure, date, and CO2e (measured in kg) appears in their history table. Users may edit and delete activity data. Several groups of history stats appear on the 'stats' page, including total CO2e kg based on current year, month, and activity type.
