The United Nations Climate Change Conference that recently took place in Copenhagen, Denmark sparked a lot of media interest in environmental issues. A recent CNN article highlighted 3 apps that “claim to help you be more gentle to Mother Earth.” GetGreen offers you daily green tips, A Real Tree plants a tree for every app purchased, and Find Green offers listings of green businesses in your area.
In addition, ComputerWorld reported on Microsoft’s and Google’s new climate change web applications. Microsoft has created the Environmental Atlas of Europe that uses Bing’s maps to highlight climate change throughout the continent. Google is currently working on “an online version of a tool that analyzes raw satellite imagery to compare deforestation over time.”
