Motivation

Technological development improves our living standards but at the same time requires enormous amounts of energy, production of which has been up until now very costly in terms of pollution. Renewable energy sources, like solar and wind, are a great opportunity to clean-up our energy production, improve our environment and preserve it for future generations. Every individual can contribute to the cleaner future and the Aurora app can be a helpful tool to find the most significant changes each of us can do to contribute to the cleaner future.
