Trees are great at storing and sequestering carbon as well as removing pollution from the air. More trees would make the street environment much better. The app explores how many trees could be planted and their benefits.</p> <h3> How I built it </h3> <p>I used Shiny in R to create the app and deployed to the app platform with a Dockerfile. I learned a lot about Dockerfiles in deploying this app.</p> <h2> Additional Resources/Info </h2> <p>See dan-carpenter.co.uk/2020/12/31/street_trees/ for more details on how I built this app.</p> dohackathon
