Apple’s iPhone would have seemed a super-futuristic gadget in 1970, when fiber optics were a new invention and Americans celebrated the first Earth Day.

USA TODAY offers up 5 iPhone apps to help you go green:

FindGreen:
Search more than 56,000 green and sustainable businesses to make everyday choices that will reduce your environmental impact. FindGreen finds everything from yoga centers to bicycle shops to organic restaurants near you.

Go Organic!:
This app from the Organic Trade Association, Earth Day Network and Music Matters allows you to enter your zipcode to find stores near you that provide free coupon books for organic products and foods. Go Organic! also provides a listing of Earth Day events in your neighborhood.

Greenpeace Tissue Guide:
The Greenpeace Tissue Guide allows you to make informed decision when shopping for recycled tissue and toilet paper. Experts have rated more than 100 brands as “recommended,” “could do better” and “avoid!”

iLocavore:
Localistas have their very own iPhone app for updated news and blog posts on local-oriented and even city-specific events and products. iLocavore sends notifications of local farmers’ market, gardening tips, community garden volunteering opportunities; and a guide to vendors that carry local foods. A handy new feature displays the mileage of an item in relation to your location.

TheGoodGuide:
GoodGuide helps you find safe, healthy and sustainable products while you shop. Simply scan the product’s barcode to view detailed ratings for the health, environment and social responsibility of more than 65,000 products and companies.
