Léa Corban's CS50 Project - Carbon Footprint Calculator for Harvard Students

This is a video explaining my CS50 final project with a screencast of the website. Enjoy!

Hi! My name is Léa and I'm a junior.
Here are a few fun facts about me: I'm a treehugger, I don't eat meat, and I'm always worried about our planet.
Why is this relevant to my CS50 final project?
Well, a few weeks ago, I decided to try to calculate my carbon footprint, to see how I was doing pollution-wise. But all the websites I tried to use asked me for information that I didn't have: how is a college student supposed to know how much gas and electricity her dorm uses?

Therefore, I decided to create a carbon footprint calculator specifically for Harvard students. I hope this project helps raise awareness about issues like climate change.
