5 Green Living Apps for iPhone

LevelUp - This may not be officially as "green" as the other apps on my list, but LevelUp is at the top because I use it the most. Save paper by paying electronically (no receipt needed - it gets e-mailed to you instantly). LOVE this app, and bonus, the company is based in Boston!

One Small Act - Make green living goals, follow through, and get points!

Good Guide - this app is my new obsession. Scan the bar code of a product (or search by name) and Good Guide will give you an environmental rating and a health rating of the given product. Amazing!

Seafood Watch Application Shopping for Seafood

Seafood Watch - remember those cards that people used to carry around in their wallets that explained which seafood was safe to order? How old fashioned! Get the app -  it is both easier to read and harder to lose.

Do It Gorgeously - Yes, Gorgeously Green has its own app with tips, videos, shopping lists and more. This one is great for when you're bored and ready to get some new green living ideas.

  2. We’re glad you’re promoting the use of environmental apps. You can see over 230 green apps on EPA’s My Green Apps website at http://www.epa.gov/mygreenapps. You can even "Like" an idea for an app so a developer can build it. Or send an e-mail to mcmahon.ethan@epa.gov.
