THE CONTRIBUTION OF SMART APPLICATIONS ?? NATURAL RESOURCES PRESERVATION

Abstract

Mitigating and addressing climate change is one of the main issues that concern the global community. The rapid increase in the world population as well as human activities has led to the pollution of the natural environment and the depletion of natural resources. The global community is now aware of the situation and green practices for sustainability are being implemented. Technology has now infiltrated all areas of our daily lives. The use of mobile devices has increased dramatically around the world, and they have become devices for all uses. Applications have been developed that are called “smart applications”, because they can respond to real conditions, process complex situations and act instantly. They facilitate the daily lives of citizens and promote energy saving. A multitude of “smart applications” have been developed with which citizens can calculate their ecological footprint and adapt their behavior with the aim of reducing it. This research is an approach to document and describe smart applications in the global market. The use of such applications can be a sustainable alternative in terms of saving valuable environmental resources and capital, while simultaneously reducing the total annual greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impacts.
