Sprint announces the Green Sprint ID pack

To go along with the eco-friendly Samsung Replenish, Sprint has announced the availability of the Green Sprint ID pack.  This will give access to applications and mobile content to help you "live a greener lifestyle" through your Android smartphone.  Included in the Green ID pack are:

  • Live Green widget with access to a carbon footprint calculator
  • Green Now widget, with content from TreeHugger, Earth911, and GreenBiz
  • ShopGreen widget full of eco-friendly daily deals
  • iRecycle to help locate the right recycling center
  • TreeHugger.com's Android application
  • Light Bulb Finder to help make the Green choice when replacing your light bulbs
  • Seasonal Harvest Lite to help find locally grown produce
  • eBay Green to find those Green gadgets and sustainable home products

Before any of us scoff at this, it's important to try to keep our planet from going any further into decline.  I'm not sure is using a smartphone to do it is going to be very effective, but it certainly can't hurt.  And to many this will hold real appeal.  If you're interested, you can grab the Green ID pack for free using any of the Sprint devices that have Sprint ID enabled.
