Using Jupyter Notebooks to Empower the Public with Environmental Data

on YouTube ↗14m

" summary

Jupyter notebooks run in Google Colab query a copied EPA ECHO database hosted at Stony Brook and updated every two weeks so records survive deletion attempts. Notebooks produce tailored congressional-district reports, rank and map facilities (Massachusetts shows ~24,000 tracked facilities, 2,282 in one district), save charts and tables, and surface least-compliant sites. Workshops generate environmental justice notebooks and planned report cards for 76 House Energy and Commerce members. Next steps include switching to PySpark to simplify storage and scaling.
