Make an impact
Choose an appliance with a high energy label
An energy-efficient refrigerator, washing machine or dishwasher sometimes uses half the power of a less efficient model.
Use the eco mode of your washing machine
Eco programs last longer but use less energy and water. This reduces CO₂ emissions and your energy bill.
Borrow tools from a DIY store
Why buy when you can borrow? Many tools are rarely used, so renting is cheaper and more sustainable.
Wash with a bag that catches microplastics
Use a laundry bag to catch microplastics from your clothes during washing.
Switch to a sustainable bank
Your bank invests your money. Choose one that invests sustainably and socially, and make an impact without any extra effort.
Choose a refurbished phone instead of a new one
Only 20% of our e-waste is recycled. Use devices longer and choose refurbished ones when replacing them. Good for both people and the environment.
Borrow things from your neighbors
You rarely use many of the things you own. Share or borrow through platforms like Peerby or your local community group – sustainable and convenient.
Buy clothes from brands that do better
The fashion industry emits more CO₂ than all flights and ocean-going ships combined. Buy less, and if necessary, choose brands that perform better.
