10 apps to help you lead a more sustainable life

Sustainability is an important issue in today’s society and there are many innovative ways that many companies are helping the environment. What can we do? Fortunately, there are dozens of apps that you can use to help contribute to the environment.

Too good to go

Every year, a third of the food produced globally is thrown away. With this application, we will reduce the food that is wasted at all points in the food chain. Our impact on the environment can be less if we make sure that no food is thrown away when the end of the day comes. What does this app do? You can buy a “Magic Box” in supermarkets, hotels, shops and restaurants with a great discount. This box contains food that would otherwise have to be thrown away. This does not mean that they are not edible, only that they will spoil if they are not eaten that day. Remember that products such as bread, meat or fish, you can often freeze it and eat it at another time. Togoodtogo.es

Tap accesses our location and allows us to find nearby water refill stations so we can fill our reusable water bottle without creating plastic trash . Findtap.com

 

ThredUp

Clothing may not seem like a direct or obvious way to help the environment, but knowing where our clothing comes from is important, especially since the fashion industry as a whole has a lot of work to do to be more environmentally friendly. What is more responsible? Buy second-hand items. ThredUp is a thrift store that offers lower prices on high-end, new and used items and also has a Goody Box clothing delivery option. It does not require a subscription fee. ThredUp.com

Think Dirty

Well, it is not what you are thinking … It is an app that allows you to shop cleanly when it comes to beauty products or find the ones you use and see how “clean” they are .
