ABOUT:
The Sustainability Tracker is a mobile-app that is for those who are interested in monitoring their environmental practices and contribution to sustainability. The app will monitor daily sustainability practices and make estimates such as personal trash output, food waste, and carbon footprint - based on input data. It will combine input data with daily monitoring and weekly questions, in order to generate daily recommendations via Azure AI, meant to increase personal sustainability scores. This will help address the problem of climate change and food shortages, and more - applicable to SDG goals.
TECHNICAL: Azure AI generates recommended outputs based on inputed data from prompts and api information. The input data and recommended output data is stored in a database so that an api can access the data then create read-only or read-write access files. Using node express, rest apis generate data points for external applications to use via json, XML.
