I agree! I always liked the phrase "be the change you want to see" or whatever, every little helps in my opinion. If bringing awareness to a few strangers on the internet about the air pollution in my poor city helps, then I'll take it.
FYI, there are quite a few sensors throughout the world, maybe consider hosting your own: https://www.purpleair.com/map https://www.purpleair.com/map
- h0l0cube 6y agoThanks for the link! I forgot this was a thing. I remember seeing this map on HN when the California wildfires were at their peak. There's 4 active people using this in the city I'm in - between a million people. I really wish the device was cheap and reliable enough you could just pick it up at your local electronics store for 50 bucks. Having one with an onboard e-ink display seems very Kickstart-able. Or hopefully air quality measurement on smart watches will become a thing in the not too distant future.
