Another Earth Day has passed. Did you do anything to celebrate? I participated in the Neutrogena Naturals #WipeForWater campaign. I know I can do more. I found a bunch of apps to help to honor the earth. Plus a few other goodies!

PaperKarma-Logo-Av4-2_400x400PaperKarma lets you take photos of the unwanted mail you want to stop from coming again. You just snap a photo and you’re done. They automatically contact the sender and remove you from their distribution list. PaperKarma can stop most unwanted mail that is addressed directly to you. Get PaperKarma on the App Store or Google Play. (Free with possible in app upgrades)

It was created by researchers and students at t University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Human Ecology.  By taking a shorter shower or recycling a milk jug, your energy savings increase. A polar bear perched on an iceberg shows your progress. The iceberg grows as you save. The goal is to help you to connect your actions with the environment. Cool! (Free)

ZaoVGcMN_400x400GoodGuide takes the guesswork out of eco-conscious shopping. Use GoodGuide to find safe, healthy, green and socially responsible products based on scientific ratings.  You can browse categories of products or search for a specific product with the app’s UPC scanner. GoodGuide provides information on the environmental, health, and social impacts for each time. It works for food, personal care items, and household items.

I also took Google’s Earth Day Quiz to see what kind of mammal I was. Bad news, I am extinct. I am going to check out Earth Day’s Network Footprint Calculator, too. Hopefully, I will fare better with that one!
