With green living issues and healthy lifestyle becoming one of the voguish things to buzz about
nowadays, overall ecological awareness of people has increased and we can see new eco towns being built,
ecology shops and greenish health care, fitness centers and educational institutions popping up, even not
mentioning all specialized high-tech devices and machinery, which also want to add the word green in front of
their names and commercialize the whole green living thing.

How to keep clear mind in this buzz and find a harmonious solution conforming to personal green
believes? How to make sometimes luxury green living affordable?

You may want to take a look at a new and currently with a unique concept flavoured mobile application
called Eko map just released in iTunes market. Yes, with K, as developed by a mobile value added services
providing company from Lithuania, where Ecology is Ekologijos. “The main purpose of the app is to help its users
find various ecology places around – either them being an ecology food shops or restaurants, ecologic apparel
and shoes boutiques, with green believes in mind beauty parlours, sports centres, kindergartens and educational
institutions or a bunch of technology companies providing greener solutions and finally several tourism
attraction places enriched with eco concept. The user can find ecology places around either by looking in a map
in the phone screen or scrolling the list of eko places divided by categories and countries. The user can read
about the selected eco place, find out its offering, ranking and what other customers express in their reviews”,
reveals the mobile applications project manager Inga Božoka. In addition, the inspirator of the company Tomas
Martūnas has his secret belief of turning this app into a worldwide ecology discount card, meaning, having an
Eko-map in your phone will grant a pre-arranged discount in partner eco places. “The initiative is working great
in Lithuania, now first steps have been taken to address the global market, whether we succeed will see, as a
long way is in front of us with contribution necessary from both ecology place owners and all ecology fans
worldwide” shares Inga.

where they can read ecology news, receive new ecology tips every day, find out the meaning of all those E
substances written on product labels and take an ecology test to measure the implementation of their ecologic
lifestyle knowledge in practice. Furthermore, the users can write in ecology forums, report major non-eco issues
they observe, as well as engage in communication with Svarainis – an Eko man guiding the users through the
app and green living world. iPhone users can enjoy the benefits of Eko map already, while other platform users
