Today’s Solutions: December 01, 2024

No matter what you think of the proliferation of smartphones in society, it’s hard to deny that apps can make some facets of life much easier—including living a sustainable life. In Helsinki, the capital city of Finland, a new app has been launched that lets residents, tourists and business owners make smarter daily choices that contribute to the metropolis’ goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2035. 

The app is called Think Sustainably, and it helps users decide on activities, transportation options and shops by toggling specific sustainability filters to find choices that best suit their preferences and meet environmental metrics.

Touching on every major aspect of sustainable living, including transportation, food options, green jobs, and environmental justice, this is definitely an app that every city should have.
