# Building-Materials-Carbon-Morocco-Africa Flask Carbon Footprint Calculator This is a Python Flask application that calculates the carbon footprint and cost of different materials based on user input. It provides visualizations of the data using charts and allows users to compare the environmental impact and cost of various materials. Features Calculates carbon footprint and cost based on user input for different materials Allows users to input the volume and distance for each material Provides feedback on invalid input Displays the total carbon footprint and cost Generates bar charts to visualize the carbon footprint and cost for each material Generates a pie chart to show the percentage contribution of each material to the total carbon footprint and cost Calculates ratios of carbon footprint to cost and carbon footprint to distance Generates charts to visualize these ratios Prerequisites Python 3.x Flask Flask-WTF Chart.js (included in the template) Installation Clone the repository: bash Copy code git clone github.com Change into the project directory: bash Copy code cd repository-name Install the required dependencies: bash Copy code pip install -r requirements.txt Usage Run the Flask application: bash Copy code python app.py Open your web browser and go to localhost to access the application. Enter the volume and distance for each material in the provided input fields. Select the transportation method for each material from the dropdown menu. Click the "Calculate" button to calculate the carbon footprint and cost. The total carbon footprint and cost will be displayed at the top of the page. The bar charts show the carbon footprint and cost for each material. The colors of the bars indicate the environmental impact level: green for low impact, yellow for moderate impact, and red for high impact. The pie charts show the percentage contribution of each material to the total carbon footprint and cost. …
