Apps To Help You Live More Sustainably

For Eco-Travel

Bikemap

One of the most eco-friendly (and fun) ways to travel, bike-riding has really taken off in recent years as people have become more conscious about the travel industry’s contribution to climate change. Of course, we’re not saying you should start biking it across Europe – but every little helps; that last-minute trip to the shops, your commute to work, or even your weekend trip across town for brunch (if you don’t mind turning up with a little sweat on your brow). If you need a little help navigating your trip, download the Bikemap application where you’ll find over 4 million routes spanning 100 countries (in case that European bike trip really is on the cards). The app also includes voice navigation, enables you to track your speed and distance, and will even inform you of useful nearby stop points, from repair shops to e-bike charging stations.

For Sustainable Style

The Vestiaire Collective App

If you’re looking to live more sustainably, a great place to start is with your wardrobe. As Sustain Your Style states, ‘the fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world’ – a concerning statistic when you consider the industry is a luxury, not a necessity. But there are ways to help tackle this issue, such as luxury resale platform Vestiaire Collective’s digital app. Branded as ‘pre-loved fashion at your fingertips’, the application enables conscious users to buy, sell and explore thousands of stylish second-hand items from the likes of Louis Vuitton,  Hermes, Chanel and Givenchy. What’s more, sold items are quality-checked before they are sent, so you won’t be disappointed when your parcel arrives.

For Buying Better

CoGo

If you are unsure about whether what you’re putting in your shopping basket is sustainable, GoCo will help you make the right choices. The app will alert you to a number of sustainable and ethical businesses in your local area whilst also connecting with your bank to determine your real time carbon footprint. The idea is to help users make better choices with their money, which will in turn help others and the planet, of course.

For Eating Greener

Riverford

If you’re keen to make your eating habits more sustainable, why not start by eating the seasons? This means indulging in local produce that’s currently in season, meaning that the food hasn’t had to travel too far to reach you. Plus, seasonal produce means less pesticides and preservatives as the food is predominantly garden-fresh. The organic farmers at vegetable delivery company Riverford have launched a clever app to help you consume seasonal and organic veg. It’s a simple way to order sustainable and fresh veg straight to your door, along with offering expert tips on how to cook with in-season produce.

HappyCow

It’s no secret that a vegetarian and vegan diet is better for the planet. The Meatless Farm Co reports that ‘Making the simple swap from red meat to plant-based just once a week would cut the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions by a staggering 50 million tonnes. That’s the equivalent of taking 16 million cars off the road, or a reduction of up to 8.4% in the UK’s total greenhouse gas emissions.’ But eating vegetarian or vegan food doesn’t have to be boring. The HappyCow app is happy to do the hard work for you, by finding your nearest vegan-friendly restaurants, food delivery services, markets, bakeries, cafés and more – more than 120,000 options over 180 countries in fact.

For Putting a Stop to Plastic

Refill

According to grassroots movement Surfers Against Sewage, ‘at least 8 million pieces of plastic are entering the oceans every single day.’ Refill is here to help: the application locates your nearest water refill stations – there are more than 12,000 positioned across the UK – so you simply reuse and refill a water bottle rather than buy more plastic. As the app states, ‘if all of our Refill stations are used just once a day, we’re stopping around 4 million plastic bottles at source in a year!’ – it’s a no-brainer.

For Waste Prevention

Olio

The aim of this ingenious app is to ‘Share more. Waste less’. Olio enables you to share surplus food and household essentials with people in your local area, in which every product is free. Log items which you no longer need (and that could be of use to someone else) and browse and search for available products within easy reach.
