My first script counted trees I planted online

I wrote a basic program to log tree planting efforts for a local group. It used variables and user input, which was perfect for a beginner. What other eco-coding projects have you tried?

Tried to make a map for our local river cleanup spots last year. Got the basic locations down but then totally froze up trying to figure out how to log the trash weight data. Felt way harder than my first few scripts. Really cool that your tree counter worked out, that's a solid start for sure.

That freeze-up on trash weight data is totally relatable (I hit similar walls with my own projects). What if you started with a basic spreadsheet that volunteers update via a form, then link that to your map later? Getting the data flow working separately can make the coding part feel less scary.
