Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • “Been feeling sickly in the mornings and suspecting it's due to low air quality.”
  • “When indoor levels of CO2 are above 1000ppm, you might get headaches and your sleep isn't as good anymore.”
  • “You can easily reach 2000 or 3000ppm at night, with 2 people sleeping in an smallish room.”
  • “We can sleep with the windows open but my partner can't sleep with the outside noise. So I'll need to come up with some way to improve ventilation.”
