Description CO2 Emissions Tracker web app built with Python (Flask), HTML, and SQLite. Users can log trips by selecting a city (from 20 Texas cities), entering the distance in kilometers, and choosing one of four vehicle types - hybrid/electric/diesel/gasoline. The app calculates CO2 emissions based on these inputs, stores the totals in the database, and displays an interactive bar chart to compare emissions across cities. Demonstrates basic front-end web development and back-end database integration skills.
