Carbon Offset Calculator
Say goodbye to carbon guilt with the Carbon Offset Calculator, an ASP.NET web application designed to help users mitigate the environmental impact of their package deliveries! 🌍📦
About
The Carbon Offset Calculator is a user-friendly web app that provides individuals with an estimate of how much they should donate to offset the carbon emissions generated by shipping their package. By simply entering a tracking number, users can access valuable information about the environmental footprint of their delivery journey.
How It Works
The app utilizes three external APIs to gather longitude and latitude points for the route of the package. Using this data, it calculates the carbon emissions associated with the transportation process. Users are then presented with a recommended donation amount to offset these emissions and contribute to environmental conservation efforts.
Built for Learning
The Carbon Offset Calculator serves as a practical learning tool for those seeking exposure to the C# language and the ASP.NET MVC framework. Through hands-on development, users can gain valuable insights into web application development while tackling real-world environmental challenges.
