The problem Green Map solves

**Problem we Target: **

• Carbon neutrality has been around for a few years now but the theoretical definition and practical application of the idea remain a bit cloudy, even among the eco-friendly community.
• For many journeys to and from work are the bookends of the daily grind. But how we choose to travel to the office, or even to pop to the shops, is also one of the biggest day-to-day climate decisions we face.
• Globally, transport accounts for around a quarter of CO2 emissions.
• Making changes in how you get around can significantly cut your carbon budget.

Our Product:

• Has a bunch of Resources that will help the user to be aware of their Carbon footprint and will also help them to actually visualize the Carbon dioxide that is produced daily due to their day-to-day activities.
• Once the user understands the concepts of Carbon Footprint, Carbon Offset, and Carbon Neutrality, they can keep a Detailed Record of their Offset Contribution.
• The user will have an option to neutralize their Carbon Offset by Donating an amount proportional to their Carbon Offset, towards a Tree Plantation.
• Once the user confirms their donation, their Offset gets neutralized.

Added Features: Once the user selects their destination and their mode of travel, they will get a detailed rout and direction to reach the destination.

Challenges we ran into

1. We have used Mapbox Api for getting the information regarding various locations, as it is a very new API service it had lesser documentation so we had to dive deep and find out what can be done.
2. The Air Quality API shows the quality of the air the user traveling to and from. This API was also quite tricky to handle.
3. Sqlite3 database is not good for production. But we are not really well acquainted with other types of databases.
