Nurture Nature With These Apps

Simple ways to lighten your environmental impact.

The responsibility to protect our shared planet intersects every aspect of our lives. These apps make it easier to minimize waste, nurture a meaningful connection with nature, and preserve precious resources.

Shop secondhand

There’s so much to love about buying and selling gently used clothes, home goods, and more: You’ll save money, stumble upon one-of-a-kind finds, and reduce waste. Turn your no-longer-needed stuff into someone else’s sustainable treasure with these apps.

Reduce food waste

Uneaten food that ends up in landfills is one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gases. Use these apps to create zero-waste meal plans, get alerts when supermarkets reduce prices on perishables nearing their sell-by date, and set up food-sharing networks with neighbors.
