High-Level Project Summary
"HUMANS" are the biggest super-power to save the earth! Our solution is to develop an app that connects people and encourages them to form teams in a way that they can implement their solution practically. They can choose any mission from the app or create Sharing what impact the team has created will be mandatory. We have decided on rewards that are useful but also contribute to the environment and learning of users. We believe just following some environment-friendly steps daily can create a great impact. So, it is mandatory for the teams to share the solutions which can be practiced by others in daily life. Teams have to encourage people from locality to join them. The more the merrier!

Detailed Project Description
Our project is an application. The user has to download the app and register his/herself as a "Green Warrior". They will have the option to choose the existing mission or create their own mission!
They can either join an existing team for chosen mission or create their own, The solutions users implement and share over the team page should be implementable in daily life because small steps make a great impact. Teams have to keep their page updated and submit proofs about the impact the solution has created. For, example if the mission was zero-waste they have to share the alternatives they have decided to use and later update with how many people are using it and how many other people they have convinced to use sustainable products.
All the information will be verified by our team to check users are sharing fair data. Teams with great performance will be rewarded at the end of the month. Our other unique concept is "CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK". Every week we will feature a new challenge like Convince the maximum number of restaurants in your locality to stop providing plastic straws.
Teams will be asked the restaurant to fill the form if they agree and register the particular restaurant to take a step and become plastic-free.
The team which convinces maximum restaurant will win. Challenge will be new and different every week. There is no power greater than humans and we have chosen this approach because we wanted to make impacts with small steps.
Space Agency Data
We have studied data shared by NASA to read the impact of Global warming to get an idea of what our solution should consist of and few more NASA resources and open data.
Hackathon Journey
It was totally great experience to participate in the space apps challenge. We have learned to research more effectively and be more creative. It tested our skills and help us to be better with the tasks that need team earth. Our simple motive to choose this challenge was "WE HAVE RUINED IT SO WE SHOULD FIX IT." Maximum damage to the earth is caused by human beings, So, we decided to take a step towards action using this platform. Our approach was to build something which is simple and effective. We are a team of only 2 students so it was difficult for us to do everything by managing school within 48 hours but, we divided the workload and managed to give our very best.
