ClimateHacks

Hello, Friends! Let's work together to save our ecosystem by creating hacks that tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time: climate change! Whether it's a solution to reduce the carbon footprint or mitigate effects of climate change, we can't wait to see what you build! We will be running a fun, activity-filled, open-themed digital hackathon. These events are open to all skill levels, from beginners to the most veteran developers. Please build whatever you'd like and focus on making friends and having fun! We are hosting another hackathon this weekend which is APAC timezone friendly. Irrespective of where you are hacking from, we encourage you to checkout: [Design & Hack](https://organize.mlh.io/participants/events/9356-design-hack)
