Technology

After thinking of my final idea on how the website will motivate people to lower their carbon emissions, I needed to see if this idea of monitoring peoples energy use would be possible. My idea was to monitor how much energy people use at home and when they travel by car, and that if the user reduces how much energy they use each week then they will be rewarded. But to do this I had to check if this was possible. Whilst researching I found some new pieces of technology that allows you to monitor how much energy you use in your home via a wireless energy monitor, and also a car mileage tracker device.

With this new technology I will be able to create a website that will monitor people energy use at home and when they travel, making the statistic that I found which states over 40% of the UK's man-made C02 emissions comes from energy we use each day at home and when we travel.
