When forests disappear, wildlife disappears with them 🌳🐒💔
Palm oil is a major driver of this — hiding in everyday products while countless species lose their homes.
Our choices matter. What we buy shapes what survives.

Millions of tons of e-waste end up in landfills every year, most of it from devices that could have been repaired.
The Right-to-Repair movement is changing that by making repairs accessible, reducing waste, and saving you money 🔧 ♻️ 🪙

Paper bags, cotton totes, biodegradable plastics — all marketed as eco-friendly. But they aren’t as green as we think.
Learn how focusing only on what happens after we use products creates sustainability blind spots.

The Blind Spot in Our Sustainable Choices
We often judge eco-friendliness by what we see — reusability, recyclability, biodegradability — but the hidden environmental costs of production matter just as much in making truly sustainable choices

Soil stores more carbon than all the world’s forests and atmosphere combined, yet it's vanishing due to unsustainable farming and land degradation.
Healthy soil = a resilient climate. It's time to restore the ground we all depend on 🌍

Not everything in the recycling bin gets recycled. Contamination, poor sorting, and misconceptions all get in the way.

Our food systems can either deplete ecosystems or help regenerate them.

Agriculture uses 70% of the world’s freshwater — far more than households or industry.
Shorter showers help, but the biggest water savings come from what’s on your plate.
Choose local. Eat seasonal. Waste less.
