About this project

What you'll build: A calculator that estimates a person's monthly CO2 footprint from travel, electricity, and diet inputs, with a simple breakdown chart.

Why it's a good starter: Climate is a motivating theme, the maths is addition and lookups, and the result is a clear, shareable number.

What you'll learn: Using published emission factors, structuring a multi-part calculation, and visualising a breakdown.
