I wanted to switch things up a bit today and do my post on something that is making it a little easier to be green. I have had an iPhone for a few years now and even though it may seem cliché to say, I couldn’t live without it. At first it was just my source of entertainment and kept my life on track but now it’s helping me be green as well.
Green apps have been floating around for a couple of months as the green “movement” gains popularity but on Earth Day this week there was a rush of green apps to help everyone do their part. Everything from tips to being green, green recipes, analysis of so called “green companies” and new social networking opportunities that allow you to see how everyone else is being green have popped up. I’ve downloaded a few and they really make being green fun. They are very convenient and in a world where convenience and knowledge “on the go” seem to work, I think it’s a great thing app developers are doing.
I encourage those with an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to check some out. If you don’t own any of those, remember, it’s always fun to mooch off of your friends. Have fun!

Cool idea! This definitely is helpful in making simple changes in one's lifestyle to be more eco-friendly. I just might check out those apps for my ipod touch (since I don't have an iPhone). Thanks for blogging about this, I hadn't thought about these kind of apps before!

This is a really cool post James, I did not know Apple had released any green apps. I definetly will check that out on my iPod touch at some point. The more simple it becomes to be green the more people will actually want to do it.

ReplyDeleteIt is always a good idea to look for an electronic alternative because although it doesnt save energy it is green
