WEB: Socially Focused Website - Milestone 2
I was able to finish my Socially Focused Website, "Plastic Earth".
I used Javascript for much of the desktop interaction on the site, however, I optimized the website for mobile as a simple, flat design.

The interaction begins just as I wire-framed. The down arrows auto scroll to the next section

Here's a section about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
When you roll over it, it displays more info using javascript.

Then there's a section about single use plastics and alternative items to use
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/1db148_c717d70a7a144d0d94f911ca1623a37c~mv2_d_2876_1604_s_2.png/v1/fill/w_49,h_27,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/1db148_c717d70a7a144d0d94f911ca1623a37c~mv2_d_2876_1604_s_2.png)
Again, mousing over each item displays more info

Here we see the interaction with the plastic straw.
Finally, theres a section with sources used for info, and companies that are helping the cause.

On mobile, the difference is all the info is available without mousing over elements:

Overall, I learned a lot about javascript, specifically DOM modification and event listeners.
I also learned about optimization for mobile.
This website was a fun project to work on!
