Apps That Help You Create a Better World

There are some mobile phone apps that can make you take world-changing decisions in your life, and here are some of them:

Seafood Watch: Monterey Bay Aquarium’s free iPhone app helps users make sustainable choices while they are buying fish. It offers location-based customized content, a seafood guide, and enables search options for the kind of seafood you are considering eating at a restaurant or buying. You are informed whether a particular type of fish is overfished or if it contains too many chemicals.

GoodGuide: This app provides data based on products and company performance. Environmental impact assessment, health hazard assessment, and social impact assessment are conducted through scientific methods. Product toxicity, climate change policies, and labor concerns are some of the issue areas into which GoodGuide’s categories are placed.
