This is a web app built for the UMD Daemon Dash Hackathon (2014):

The web app takes a user inputted zip code and then uses publicly available data to retrive information about pollition levels in that area. Pollution levels such as water/air/soil quality and uv/pollen levels. The user is also given the option to write to their local Senators (depending on zip code) about the pollution levels in their area.
