AirCasting is a set of solutions, from air quality monitor to an Android app, which measures and provides information about environmental and health data. AirCasting leverages gathered data to inform individual decision making as well as influence public policy. Through that, it creates an opportunity for everyone to be an environmental changemaker.

Our demands were never met with a "No", as the diversity of the development team at Lunar Logic guaranteed programming solutions across languages and platforms. Our architecture and designs were respected even as they worked with us to improve and refine them. It was incredible working with a team that could go from wireframes to a working website and Android app so rapidly.
