iOS Apps To Celebrate Earth Day
1. Global Air Quality (FREE) – To get you started, here is an app that provides real time air pollution values in over 3000 cities from 54 countries of the world. This will keep you aware about the air quality in your region and also inform you about other places that you intend to visit or consider moving in.
2. Joulebug (FREE) – A free App Store app that promotes living green and makes your life more sustainable. You earn points every time you take a small action that helps “Saving the Planet”. You get motivated by a direct competition with your friends and even by the promise that you can save up to $200 per year, in utility bills and other supplies, by living green. Give it a try, at least today, because it’s Earth’s Day!
3. Earth Now (FREE) – Download this NASA app that shows you Earth’s vitals. It includes extended information about the globe’s recent climate evolution. You can find out interesting data as: sea level variations, gravity oscillations, surface air temperature as well as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone and water vapor levels. Info is nicely charted, mapped and structured in an user-friendly interface.
4. Seafood Watch (FREE) – Inform yourself about seafood sustainability and know what ocean-friendly nourishment is available at your local restaurant, before ordering your next meal. Food from the sea is considered sustainable when it’s fished or collected in ways that have a low impact on the ocean’s health, in order to ensure availability for the upcoming generations.
5. Nat Geo View (FREE) – I highly recommend this daily news digest from National Geographic. You’ll be updated with impressive pictures, Earth’s News, amazing stories and much more impressive info about our planet. If you want to read something interesting about Terra, here you’re guaranteed to find high quality content worth reading!
