4 apps that will help you reduce your carbon footprint

It is no secret to anyone that climate change is affecting the entire world, and the main cause of this is the use of fossil fuels to generate energy, electricity, and even to transport us.

One of the ways to reduce your carbon footprint and energy consumption is to start with small actions that help reduce this impact. Small actions can start, from choosing, with a light comparator, the best sustainable energy supplier, to removing emails from your inbox and thus reducing your environmental impact.

Below, you'll find the 5 apps to reduce your carbon footprint:

Cleanfox

It's a tool available for your cell phone, which allows you to reduce your carbon footprint, just by cleaning your inbox, eliminating emails that you don't need and that may be taking up space in your email, without any sense. “An email message generates around 10 grams of CO2 per year” (Cleanfox), which is why, by cleaning your email on a continuous basis, you will reduce your impact on the environment.

Ecosia

It is an internet search engine that aims to plant trees around the world for every search done on its server. How can a search help plant a tree?
