# Coding for SDG 2023 Hackathon Submission

## Background Information

This project won Top 3 in the [Coding for SDG 2023 Hackathon](https://devpost.com/software/recycling-game-ijznvb?ref_content=my-projects-tab&ref_feature=my_projects).

The topic of the hackathon was UN SDG #13 Climate Action, with the hackathon hosting 91 participants.

## Intro: 

One part of reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the air is to recycle correctly.

Less plastic created = less oil burned = better for the enviroment.

Recycling not only helps CO2 emissions, it also improves the cleanliness of the environment around us.

Who doesn't want that?

According to (https://www.americanprogress.org/article/energy-from-waste-can-help-curb-greenhouse-gas-emissions/):

> Recycling and composting reduces trash that is destined for the landfill that would have emitted greenhouse gases while decomposing, saves energy that would have been used for the production of a virgin material, and decreases the need to mine for raw materials, which will preserve our natural resources.

## How My Submission Will Help:

Many items that could have been recycled are thrown in the trash, mainly due to a lack of awareness/understanding about what is/what isn't recyclable.

My solution is to create a fun game that helps inform people what should be recycled and what shouldn't, making it easier for the recycling companies to process/reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
