Celebrated annually on April 7, World Health Day is a global health awareness initiative driven by the World Health Organisation. It features a different theme every year that highlights a priority area of global public health concern. The theme for 2022 is ‘Our planet, our health,’ which places the spotlight on not only improving our health but also that of the planet and how the two are interlinked.
Imagine a world where clean air, water, and food are available to all and countries focused more on health and wellbeing. That is the intention of this year’s World Health Day, as it creates an opportunity for us to think differently about these and many other aspects taking more responsibility for the care of our planet, ourselves and our communities.
Starting this World Health Day, why not let AppGallery be your trusty companion as it gives you access to a plethora of interesting apps that help you become more health and environmentally aware in all facets of your life. Here are a few cool apps to help get you started:
- Keeping up with the news
First up is the Environmental Engineering app. But don’t let its name intimidate you. This is a wonderful resource for blogs, videos and news about the environment. You can even take quizzes and read up on everything from solar energy to sound pollution. There’s literally something for everyone and it contains a treasure trove of information to help you become more sustainable.
- Browsing for trees
Now this isn’t something you see every day. Ecosia is a privacy-friendly search engine that uses its profits to plant trees. According to the developers, it uses 80% of its profits from advertising revenue to support tree-planting projects around the world. So you only need to keep browsing the Web, like you normally would, to make a massive change in the world.
- Recycling
Recycling might not sound that exciting, but the Newspaper Recycling app is sure to pique your interest. This app gives you many ideas on creating things from old newspapers. Whether it is making pots for flower and vegetable seedlings or pureeing used paper and water to make recycling craft paper, Newspaper Recycling has lots of great ideas. Get the entire family involved and put a new spin on recycling.
