Your phone probably isn't the first place you'd look to in your efforts to go green. Yet the humble mobile is home to a growing number of applications that have an energy-saving or eco theme, from digital cycle maps to portable carbon calculators. I've rounded up six of the latest and greatest.
Mobgas
What: A pocket carbon calculator
The green claim: Keep a carbon diary of your life in real-time. Because you're updating it as you go along, it should be more accurate and you won't be inclined to forget the carbon emissions from that late-night cab home. You can upload and share your results online.
Compatible phones: Various Nokias, Sony Ericssons and a few Windows Mobile phones; Mobgas has a full list
Price: Free
SmartPlanet verdict: An incredibly comprehensive bit of software that could help you identify unexpected carbon misdemeanours in your life. The only drag is that it's almost *too* involved for daily use.
