We use applications for so many parts of our lives, from delivering our groceries, renting available shared bikes, tracking our workouts, and communicating with friends and family wherever we happen to be. But how about we use these apps to help us evolve to our planet-friendly, sustainable lifestyles. We can use apps to calculate our carbon footprints, earth-friendly diets, or help us become conscious consumers and investors.
Some applications that we found that are making a difference:
Planetary: There are 100s of apps that help you track your diet, but Planetary is changing the game. It helps you track what you eat throughout the day to help you stick to a healthy and sustainable diet. In the app, you can select your diet preferences, whether it’s vegan, vegetarian, or a standard diet, and it will help you determine the best options for you and help you make the best choices. From your grocery store list to the meals you eat every day, Planetary is a comprehensive tool that promotes better habits for a better planet. Just like Dr. Earth. Planetary is available in your phone’s app store.
Novus: Novus is a new online banking app that helps you turn your everyday spending into a force for good. You can track your individual carbon footprint and choose from a number of different carbon offset projects all in the app. We partner with other brands that are committed to a more sustainable and carbon-neutral life and make it easy for you to discover and connect with them. Novus is available in your phone’s app store.
GoodOnYou: GoodOnYou app takes the pain out of finding clothes for you that also serve people and the planet. It’s so difficult to not get lost in the weeds of greenwashing, brand campaigns, and flashy adverts, but with GoodOnYou you can rely on their company rating systems and in-depth investigations to bring the truth to light. With Good On You, you can discover the very best fashion from around the world and learn everything you need to know to make an ethical and sustainable choice. GoodOnYou is available in your phone’s app store.
Too Good to Go: Too Good to Go is an app that lets you order takeout, try new restaurants, and fight against food waste. Just click in the app, find a restaurant or grocery store, and pick up tonight's dinner. Too Good to Go is the easiest way to actively cut back on your carbon footprint without making any real sacrifices. Be sure to check it out in your phone’s app store
From diet, fashion, or online banking, our actions every day make a difference. If the sustainable choice is as easy as using the apps on our phones, why not make the transition?
