My name is Camilla Bendetti and I am a senior at the Bryn Mawr school, in Baltimore Maryland. I am working on an Edith Hamilton project this entire school year, and my project is to build an iPhone app that I will upload to the Apple App store! In short, my app is a food miles calculator. Food Miles will help users become more environmentally conscience, ultimately contributing to a reduce in their carbon emissions.

      

      My app will track your food miles based on the food you enter yourself and restaurants you go to. Food Miles are how many miles your food has traveled before making it to your plate. This is why eating local food is better than eating foods, like tropical fruits and vegetables, because the shipping of local food uses significantly less CO2 and pollutes the atmosphere with less carbon emissions. 

 

      My partner and fellow senior at Bryn Mawr, Deja Gough, has been by my side in the the Blue Ocean Competition.
