Apps for sustainability


App is short for Application software W

Guidelines for listings

The listings here are intended to concentrate on the apps which make it easier for citizens and community groups to take action for sustainability. So they are by nature citizen or user-friendly. They can include apps which help citizens and groups express needs, aspirations and good ideas to improve Quality of life in their communities. Although the listings may be primarily about software, they may also include particularly innovative and similarly citizen (not-bureaucrat) focused projects or resources.

Apps for sustainability is a sub-section of the Resources section in relevant CASwiki place and topic articles.

Reviews

Reviews of any apps listed are welcome on article talk pages.
