Overview

The MakeitGreen Browser Extension is a project created by a team of enthusiastic IT students participating in a hackathon focused on sustainable development. Our mission is to develop a browser extension that assesses web pages' environmental impact by assigning them a score concept. The extension aims to help users make eco-conscious choices while browsing the web.

Project Description

In a world where energy consumption is a growing concern, our vision for 2050 is to provide a tool that empowers internet users to make sustainable choices online. The GreenScore Browser Extension evaluates web pages and provides a score that reflects their energy efficiency. This score considers various factors, such as server load, resource optimization, and overall sustainability practices.

Future Enhancements

We envision expanding the GreenScore extension to evaluate not only energy consumption but also web accessibility. Our long-term goal is to offer a range of services, including server load optimization recommendations for backend applications. By doing so, we hope to contribute to a more sustainable and accessible internet.
