GreenGENE is a mission for GREENER Habitat!
The sustainable management of universities is key for ensuring clean air, water, food, and soil in local ecosystems, supporting the growth of all life and biodiversity, promoting health and human wellbeing, and creating thriving and abundant creative communities. For this project, Northeastern’s Sustainability Office has granted us permission to use their recent data to explore and create a meaningful set of visualizations for communicating key sustainability data.
The development of the Northeastern University Sustainability Hub website was a collaborative effort aimed at creating an intuitive and informative platform for incoming students to explore sustainability initiatives on campus.
Context
Imagine if trees held the same significance in our lives as our beloved pets or cherished family members. What if we could track their growth, monitor their health, and foster a deep emotional connection with them, just as we do with our closest companions? This vision sparked the inception of GreenGENE. At the heart of GreenGENE lies its unique approach to tree care.
Through the application, users can easily plant trees and assign them individual QR codes and geo-tags, akin to the human identification system Aadhar. This revolutionary feature ensures each tree’s existence is documented, allowing for comprehensive monitoring and maintenance.

Concept and Idea
This graph represents building emission values for a campus, displaying the environmental impact of various campus buildings in terms of their KgCO2e rates.The radial plot provides a visual overview of these emissions, where each bar corresponds to a building, and the height of the bar represents the KgCO2e rate.The graph highlights the buildings with the highest emissions by labelling the top five buildings with the darkest colors, making them easily identifiable.
This visual emphasis draws attention to the specific buildings that have the greatest impact on emissions within the campus. Overall, this graph allows viewers to quickly identify the buildings with the highest emission values, making it a useful tool for assessing and addressing environmental concerns within the campus infrastructure.
Harnessing Technology for Tree Preservationand Green Wealth:
- Giving identity to TREES by geo tagging.
Freeze GREEN memories to preserve trees.Get TREE growth and health by a simple mobile
Tool for TREE Census and missing tree inspection
Ensuring Tree Survival and Ownership Through Technology:
- Set accountability to maintain trees.
- Supporting organised plantation by GEO Mapping on Google map.
- Associating one person with One tree to develop better bonding and ownership towards trees and plantation.

In summary, GreenGENE is more than just an application; it’s a movement towards a greener, more connected future. By harnessing the power of technology and fostering emotional bonds with trees, GreenGENE empowers individuals to make a tangible difference in the world around them. Join us in reimagining tree care and building a more sustainable planet for generations to come.
Necessary funds to support this nonprofit initiative would be raised, furthering a worthwhile goal. In the end, it’ll amass enough resources to carry out our goal of creating a nation that is greener for future generations.
