Climate change, environmental preservation, and energy conservation are becoming increasingly important issues in the public consciousness.
More and more people are seeking to contribute towards a cleaner, safer, and healthier world in which to live. With very little effort, simply examining and making minor adjustments to the practices in our day-to-day activities can positively impact the environment. Here is a rundown of a few eco-themed apps that can make it easy (and sometimes even fun) to reduce your carbon footprint.
