Here is how you can easily learn more about sustainable lifestyles and improve the current environmental situation in a fun and convenient way.
Living sustainable can be pretty tough sometimes. Especially because we already got so used to the comfort and convenience of our environmentally destructive, modern lifestyles. Nevertheless, maybe these six apps could help you gradually rethink and restructure your current life patterns to have a more sustainable impact on the world.
Who hasn’t already been in the annoying situation of waiting for a delayed bus or having to sit in a crowded train during an insufferable summer heat. Sure, using a car is often then the more convenient and comfortable choice. However, in view of the rising greenhouse gas emissions it is also not the best solution. Instead, you could use your bicyle. Nevertheless, with that you are also rather inflexible…right? No, Bikemap debunks this myth and shows you awesome bicycle routes wherever you are in the world.
Are you up for a new challenge and willing to learn how to be more environmentally friendly? Then Joulebug is your partner in crime for this mission. It gives you different ideas and advice on how to implement a more sustainable lifestyle and transforms your journey into a gamified and social experience. Also, instead of being a lone environmental fighter, you have the chance to challenge yourself with your friends and together slowly make your everyday lifestyles more sustainable.
Do you want to enjoy local and home-grown vegetables, but you life in a big city? Then Urban Veggie Garden is the perfect solution to this problem. It is an app that gives you necessary information about growing plants and teaches you how you can grow your own vegetables from the comfort of your home.
You need specific tools to fix your broken sink or a speaker for your weekend house party? Then you don’t have to buy these things just for using it once and never again. Instead, if you live in the UK, Canada or the US you can use Fat Llama and find people that live in your close area that could lend these things to you.
There is no way around it- we all need water throughout the day. Water in plastic bottles that you can buy in every supermarket therefore seems like the most convenient solution, but it is also the most damaging one to the environment as it majorly adds to the plastic pollution. Instead, it would be better to switch to glass bottles that you can fill up again. Nevertheless, it might be difficult to find places where you could refill your bottle with drinkable water. That’s where Refill comes in place. The app helps you to easily find water refill stations in your close proximity.
Getting away from fast fashion and unsustainable brands can be quite tricky, especially when considering issues such as green washing. Therefore, Renoon set itself the mission of improving your sustainable online shopping experience by helping you find environmentally friendly clothing items and fashion brands that align with your environmental values.
