More Great Green Apps
As interest in green living has grown, so too have the electronic resources to help us pursue this interest. Iphone users are lucky to be able to hold many of these resources right in the palm of their hands. A previous post listed several apps that help consumers locate green and healthy food. Here I list a few more of my favorite green living apps:
iRecycle
Developed by Earth911.com, iRecycle helps you find recycling locations anywhere in the U.S. Looking for a place to drop-off your old cell phone? laptop? rechargeable batteries? old CFLs? iRecycle locates a recycling center, gives you directions and can tell you what other materials the center may accept.
Find Green
Looking for a restaurant that sources its food locally and sustainably? How about an eco-friendly landscaping company or yoga studio? Over 56,000 businesses are included, all of which have been screened to ensure they meet sustainability standards. Results are displayed according to whether they are within walking, biking or driving distance.
Label Lookup
Developed by the National Resources Defense Council, label lookup uses a three leaf system to rate the reliability, rigor and transparency of eco-friendly labeling.
