Go Green Go! On Earth Day 2011

Posted by Sharon Cohen on April 20th, 2011

Are you ready to go Green? Earth Day 2011 is coming on April 22. In 1970, U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson founded the first Earth Day to increase understanding of the impact everyone has on our planet and asking all people to make positive environmental changes in their communities. On this day, millions of people around the world participate in environmental activities, promote public policy, and educate themselves on how they can make the world a better place to live. You can get involved and celebrate this important day with the help of your mobile apps. Here are some suggestions for individuals of all ages:

You may not be able to go out and plant your own trees to make the world Greener, but with Three Trees app environmental puzzle, you can combine the right mixture of water, air, and sun to grow your virtual trees. This is fun and informative for all ages, individuals and families.

Who says that picture books are just for little kids? The Four Seasons app is a way to enjoy all the different days of the year through an entertaining story that features a friendly gardener who teaches children about keeping a healthy environment and the ways that we all can contribute to this “in the Green” world. You can grow new trees, clean the park, learn about fresh drinking water, shovel snow, and interact with the characters while surprises appear on every page.

Why go out and buy something new and add to the world’s clutter? As they say, “Someone’s junk is someone else’s treasures!” With the Swap app, you can participate in exchanges through Swap.com. Just list the books, CDs, movies, and video games that you want to trade or receive from others. You can quickly find out all the items that you can receive for your own items. Clicking on a "GET NOW" link next to an item gives you additional information about both the item and the trader who has it to swap. As soon as the traders agree on their swap, the exchange is complete, and you will get the shipping address for sending your item. You’ll pay Swap.com either $.50 or $1.00 for its services plus shipping costs, but that’s a lot less than going out and buying the product new.
