If you have a couple of minutes, take some time to download some of these awesome, green apps! All apps are free, and available in the app store (Author’s note: the WWF is my favorite!).

Good Guide

They rate products so that consumers can have instant access to credible information about products that would be very difficult for anyone to develop on their own.
WWF Together
WWF Together brings you closer to amazing and endangered species than you ever could have imagined, letting you discover their lives and the work WWF does for them. Try out “tiger vision,” flap your wings like a migrating butterfly, and chop the panda’s bamboo. As part of each story, you’ll get to bring an animal into your world by taking a selfie with its origami or placing it in a scene.
Forest
If you want to temporarily put down your phone and focus on what’s more important in real life, you can plant a seed in Forest. As time goes by, this seed will gradually grow into a tree. However, if you cannot resist the temptation of using your phone and leave the app, your tree will wither

See how every aspect of your life connects to climate change, from your home energy and transportation decisions, yo your diet, shopping, and entertainment choices.

Carma Carpooling
This ridesharing app lets users share commuting costs with neighbors and colleagues headed the same way. Riders pay 0.20 per mile, standard, which means drivers don’t make a profit. Once the trip starts, a timer on the app keeps track of the trip distance and automatically pays the driver when the trip ends.
