Bit Buddies: Enhancing Air Quality through Smart Tree Planting

Introduction
Hello everyone! We are Bit Buddies, a team of second-year BTech students from ABES Engineering College, Ghaziabad, led by Ishanvi Chauhan. Our team includes Jagrati Sharma, Kshitiz Srivastav, Mayank Srivastava, and Md Zakir Uddin. We are passionate about leveraging technology to tackle environmental challenges.

Problem Statement
Air pollution is a significant environmental issue affecting human health and the planet. High levels of pollutants in the air can lead to respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, and other health issues. Trees play a crucial role in filtering pollutants and improving air quality.

Why?
Improving air quality is essential for enhancing public health and creating a sustainable environment. By planting the right types of trees, we can significantly reduce pollutants and improve the overall air quality in urban areas.

Our Solution
We aim to create a web application that:

Tracks Real-Time AQI: Using APIs to access current AQI data based on user location.
Recommends Tree Species: Suggests fast-growing, air-purifying tree species tailored to improve local air quality.
User-Friendly Interface: Features location input, AQI display, target AQI setting, and tree recommendations.

Technology Stack

Frontend: React.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML/CSS, React Router, Axios/Fetch API, Redux/Context API.
Development Tools: Webpack, Babel, ESLint/Prettier, Jest/React Testing Library, Docker.
Deployment: Git, GitHub, Netlify.
Backend: Python or Node.js for handling requests, API calls, and database integration.
