Apps to keep you inspired in 2023
Whether you’re into cycling, recycling, or upcycling you’ll find an app to motivate you and/or your students to make a difference.
Search party
Ecosia has been around for a while but continues to build on an epic idea of being a search engine that plants trees. For basic searches it’s the perfect alternative to Google.
On your bike
Bikemap is the world’s largest cycle route collection, all accessible on the website or app. Perfect for suburban adventures or cutting down the daily commute.
Sharing is caring
Have useful items you no longer need? Similar to charity platform GIVIT but focused on peer to per giving, Olio can be a great way to clear out the garage or nursery without the transport hassles.
Flower power
Flora is a habit tracker, gamified pomodoro timer, and do-to list app with a positive twist. Trees are planted every time you achieve goals within the app. A great way to be productive and have a positive impact!
Depop up
The self-described home of circular fashion, Depop is a must for the fashion-conscious environmentalist or ethical fashionista. Find preloved gems or find new homes for your unworn or second-hand own items.
Recycle smarter
RecycleSmart are on a mission to help everyone recycle more. This app allows businesses and individuals to identify nearby recycling centers, organise special collections and figure out how to dispose of that old plasma tv or waffle maker.
Call game
The Joulebug app turns simple eco-friendly actions into a game you can play with friends and family. Compete in public challenges and follow your friends and neighbours to see who is taking the most action.
