Great quote from Jonathan Edwards MP on our Think Air launch.


Jonathan Edwards MP said, “I was delighted to be invited to attend Ysgol y Bedol for the launch of the ‘Think Air’ initiative in raising awareness of air quality through user-friendly technology.


“I was grateful to meet with Jo Polson, the co-founder of Vindico and a local constituent, who has developed this idea with his colleague Ryan Griffiths and Professor Paul Lewis of Swansea University who is also an adviser to the Welsh Government on Air Quality.


“I witnessed the fantastic learning opportunities for the children who were present, to better understand the science and importance of clean air, and, interact with innovative digital technology


“It appears this initiative has incredible potential for both businesses and the wider public.”


Well said! If you'd like to know more get in touch, it's an exciting area and we think we are doing great things!

We are learning more every day and moving from just measuring to awareness and understanding. The Action will be the most difficult yet crucial stage.

A horrible and stark truth. There are too many of these stories emerging now and not enough about positive projects to get a handle on this problem. We are doing our bit to raise awareness and hope to inspire others to get involved as well.

If you'd like to know more, or to even be part of an upcoming project, get in touch!
