Explanation:

The data I used for this project originated from the litterati application. This application allows users to record the data/features of the litter they pick up on the streets. This includes many types of data but the focus is the GPS location (Lat, Lon), the material the trash is made of aka. tags, litteratiTimestamp which gives us the date and time, and lastly the username. I started out by understanding how to get the tags separated to be able to count and use them as their own data set. I changed the litteratiTimestamp from UTC to Chicago time to allow all of the times to be within a certain timezone. This allowed me to plot the by hour easier. I made subset data tables from the original data set by taking in input from the user and allowing it to become dynamic using reactive functions.
