Plastic Pollution Tracker
PPT displays levels of bottle pollution in Earth's major oceans. These levels are on a scale of 1-3 and are relative to the maximum total of instances found in one ocean. Data is received from ArcGIS api.
Preface
This project was a quick write up during my last semester in 2021 for fun. The code does its best but the presentation can be improved and the algorithm can be a lot more efficient. Thus, the goal is to fix up the glaring issues.
Issues
- The site is not responsive due to the image map
- When creating tables with a lot of values there's a delay
- Javascript code readability
- Duplicate calls for library
- Remakes a table every click
- Algorithm needs reworking
- Find a new map to represent the data set better.
- I do not like the table ;)
Mission
My mission is to fix these issues and upload a new version for comparison.
When completed, it will be found in the releases section with the previous project.
Installation
