On the long list of millennial travel interests is the desire to give something back to the world we explore. Travelers have a litany of apps at their disposal dedicated to such travel. See below for the top 5 apps for sustainable travel.
Locavore
Explore local and seasonal culinary fare with this app that points you in the direction of the best homegrown grub. The app connects to your smartphone’s GPS and clues you into what ingredients are in season and where to find the nearest farmers market. Whip up a local specialty by following one of the curated recipes found on the app, based on your location.
TripZero
Leave the smallest carbon footprint possible with TripZero, an app partnering with Expedia.com to advertise the best rates on hotel rooms. What’s more, a portion of your hotel fare is donated to various international projects like providing clean water for communities in Kenya or building wind turbines stateside.
Spinlister
Instead of grabbing a cab or navigating the nightmare that is public transit, hop on the nearest bicycle thanks to this bike-sharing locator app. For as low as $15 per day, rent bicycles from locals in cities like London, Los Angeles and Amsterdam.
Glooby
Glooby is essentially Kayak for sustainable travel. Plug in your dates, then browse and compare the best flight and hotel options in terms of cost and eco-friendly amenities.
