Must Have Apps - Fall 2012

	Justmeans (Android) Interested in what companies are doing to advance social and environmental sustainability? Justmeans does the trick! Xompare, rank publicly traded companies and see how they stack up.		Fooducate Too much information! Are you supposed to be avoiding transfats or saturated fat? Don’t panic. Fooducate saves the day. Scan barcode or search for products to see its nutrition grade. I give this an A+ .

	Green Wars Had to put one entertaining app in the mix, it’s Green Wars. Reminiscent of the old game, Drug Wars, in this version your inventory is packed with things like reusable shopping bags and hybrid cars. Not as fun as the original, think of it as Zynga for hippies - Hippyville!.		SplashID Password keeper to maintain your usernames, passwords, and other vital information. It has 256-bit Blowfish encryption, backup and wireless sync to your PC, and a password generator to create hackerresistantpasswords. Can you say 007?!

	iRecycle Provides you with access to 800k recycling and disposal resources for over 240 items. That’s a whole lot of worthfrom a free app. Great way to educate.		RSA Hate carrying around that silly VPN password keychain? Me too. RSA has built an Authentication Manager for VPNs, wireless LANs and web applications. Network security just gotbetter and lighter.

	Green Genie If you need ideas for how to be more green, rub the magic lamp! A fun way to innovate and learn new tricks to reduce and reuse. Submit your own project idea, just makes the database grow. Greatsocial app.		EyeSpyFX You can check surveillance cameras from Axis, Sony, D-Link, Linksys, Mobotix, and Vivotek. So many tweaks and settings. Beyond cool to keep tabs on things this way.

	Lookout (for Android) These guys have a good grasp of their Android user base by creating a simple, effective and stimulating intuitive app that you’ll hardly notice running in the background. Totally feel safe.		Knottycase This isn’t an app, but what phone isn’t complete without a Knottycase Sustainable Wood case for your iPhone. Each case carries with it the legend of the tree it came from.
