Whole Planet Foundation and BlueAvocado have teamed-up to launch a “Make Change. Not Waste.” iPhone app that rewards Whole Foods Market shoppers with coupons for green lifestyle actions, while at the same time raising awareness and funds for poverty alleviation.
Shoppers get to earn badges and coupons from a catalog of 45 green lifestyle behaviors including recycling, using a reusable bag and biking to work. After completing 10 green actions, you get one coupon from leading green brands like Nature’s Path, Alexia Foods, Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps, Stonyfield, Frontier Co-op and Organic Valley. Moreover, there’s an option to donate a percentage of the coupon value back to Whole Planet Foundation, which will use the proceeding to fund microlending projects in impoverished communities where Whole Foods Market sources products.
Sounds like an easy way to “go green” if you ask me. Heck, I see no risk in trying it out. Hit the link below to join this green party.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
