Since our cell phones have become part of the foundation of our daily lives, wouldn’t it make sense that they help us be better environmentalists? Well for iPhone users, there are a few Green Apps that are ready to make your life a little more earth-friendly … here are are a few that we especially like:

If you’ve ever wished you could do more for Mother Earth than recycling or taking your own bags to the grocery store, the Green Genie app will be your best friend. Green Genie provides hundreds of ideas and projects that a person can do to be more eco-friendly. Whether it’s cutting out one business trip a year or driving more energy efficient vehicle routes, this handy app will keep a running tally of how much money you’re saving.

Litter Bug
For the little tykes of the family there’s Litter Bug. This app is a simple game for teaching preschool age children what LitterBug.pngcan be recycled and what cannot. Children have interactions with the game’s Ladybug character in order to differentiate things like apple cores and plastic bottles. To increase the difficulty, the game will add more numerous and different items, as well as animals that will take items before they can be recycled.

If you consider yourself an environmentally conscious consumer, EcoMall is an iPhone app that will make it a lot easier to speak with your dollars.

Featuring over 300 retailers and 70 shopping categories, a sustainable shopper should have no difficulty finding a green business to fit any consumer needs. EcoMall also gives instant updates and information regarding environmental news, activism, non-profits, government and health education.

If you, like me, want to know what Xanthum Gum is and what it’s doing in your health food bar, the Ecoki app could be the next thing to distract you from your work at the office.

A few of the multiple things this amazing app does – it give you the low down on environmental news, ecological education and sustainable technology, as well as explain all of the health benefits of eating organic and/or vegetarian diets. Have fun.
