Mentoring session 1 notes

Be careful of how we visualise total numbers - could come across as misleading "i.e. Wollongong has x amount of CO2 per day"
- Need to show data sources (maybe as a link below?)
Colour scale for heatmap
Icons for POI
- maybe places where renewable energy are generated -> green lightning bolt)
- places with e.g. large factory-based (or industry area) energy consumption can have a red notif icon
Pitch a peer-pressure angle (i should do better than others?) perhaps?
Comparison between LGA areas (pressuring local government areas to do more?
Provide an email template which they can text to their local government representative? (Drafts for them based on their postcode)
Ensure that your data is robust (they can trust)
MAKE SURE THE USE CASE IS FOCUSED
Maybe have some interface for home owners to connect their power company APIS to give their actual energy consumption (i.e. gas usage??
- Might not be able to get it to work during the hackathon, but can show mockups / prototypes to show how it works
