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.
