Rosie is requesting a few additional sensors to widen their network and replace damaged/ broken devices.
Clean Air Communities Australia - Arabella Daniel

Their project will promote air quality monitoring by publicly calling for a host residence or school to submit an application to adopt the donated sensor.

Grease Waste Processor - Tanner Jessel
