After Nokia and Motorola made efforts to Go Green, New Delhi-based MobiMonster2.0 just added itself to the list.

MobiMonster2.0 has developed an application that can reduce a mobile phone's global carbon footprint. The application called GreenPhone can monitor various power consuming features in a phone and can inform the user when these resources are consuming energy even as they are idle and not required to be switched on.

GreenPhone, which has been recognized by Nokia, can switch off the backlight of the phone when it is not required, notify the user when the Bluetooth and WLAN is switched on but not being used, and also notify the user when the charger is not required to be connected on the phone. All these features can reduce the power consumption of your phone, thus reducing the time you need to charge the phone, which results in significant savings in electricity, in turn reducing the carbon foot print of your mobile device.

The application has a basic version available for sale, but is currently being re-vamped for a worldwide launch.
