While getting a mini pedicure at my local fav spot, I was reading this great article in Vogue and it referenced this app called Seafood Watch.
"Now you can make sustainable seafood choices quickly and easily-whether you're eating at your favorite restaurant or shopping for dinner. And at a time when the world's oceans are severely overfished, your seafood choices make a big difference."
I thought "what a GREAT" app! And that led me on my "green" and/or "pregnancy" apps search! { I should INVENT an app - that's what I really should do 🙂 }
