CrowdSense

CrowdSense helps you understand environmental conditions around you, learn what the data means, and take practical action for a healthier community.

Developed by Crafted Climate, CrowdSense combines local air-quality information, connected environmental devices, environmental education, and community-impact activities in one easy-to-use mobile app.

Whether you are a student, parent, teacher, community member, older adult, or device owner, CrowdSense turns environmental data into clear guidance you can use.

Depending on data and device availability, CrowdSense may display:

• Other supported measurements

Each reading includes a simple explanation and practical guidance to help you understand what it means and what action may be appropriate.
