What I Built
I built GreenLens, an AI-powered platform that turns any location into actionable environmental intelligence.
Most tools show:
AQI
climate data
reports
π But they donβt answer:
βWhere exactly should we plant trees?β
π³ The Breakthrough
GreenLens doesnβt just analyze β it decides.
It tells you:
π where to plant trees
π± how many trees are needed
π³ where dense forests are possible
π§ what strategy to follow
πΏ Miyawaki Forest Detection (Core Feature)
Using the Miyawaki method, the system identifies:
high-impact plantation zones
small-area dense forests
fast-growing urban greening opportunities

β‘ How It Works
User selects location
β
Fetch environmental data
β
Calculate tree opportunity
β
AI generates recommendations
β
Dashboard displays results
π§ AI Layer (What Makes It Special)
Instead of a chatbot, Google Gemini acts as a decision engine:
interprets environmental signals
generates human-readable insights
suggests real-world actions
π‘ Core Idea
Data provides facts. AI provides direction.
π From Analysis β Real Impact
This is not just a tool β itβs a platform vision.
π Community Tree Tracking
tag planted trees
upload images
track growth
build local communities
π βGitHub for treesβ
π° Crowdfunding Environmental Action
launch plantation campaigns
raise funds
track execution
π βThis area needs 500 trees β fund β plant β trackβ
ποΈ How I Built It
Tech Stack
Laravel + Blade
Bootstrap
Google Maps API
Google Air Quality API
Google Gemini
SQLite
Nginx
β‘ Real Engineering Challenge
The app runs under:
/earth-health/
This required:
fixing Laravel routing
handling base paths
configuring nginx
π Why This Matters
Environmental tools usually fail because they:
show data
but donβt guide action
GreenLens bridges:
π data β decisions β action

π° Call for Collaboration
Iβm looking to take this further:
π environmental partners
π» developers
π° early supporters

Final Thoughts
AI shouldnβt just inform.
It should help us act.
