Many big brands claim to be eco-friendly, but are they really? Some just use green words to look good while still harming the planet.

How can we tell what’s real and what’s fake? Have you seen a brand pretending to be greener than they are?

I am looking at getting plastic free products and want ideas

I’ve heard that fast fashion clothing is bad for your skin and that the clothes only last a few washes. So wouldn’t it be more expensive to keep buying cheaper clothes over and over? As opposed to buying a more expensive durable brand like Lacoste?

Even some clothing retailers that are fast fashion now used to have durable clothes like Abercrombie and Fitch.

I understand not everyone can afford expensive clothing but garments that can last a good amount of time and are healthy for your skin should be a priority

I live in a state that gives people the opportunity to switch their electricity supplier from their utility company to a 3rd party company. I'd like to switch to a fully renewable supplier, but reading into it, it appears that I'm just paying for carbon offset credits, and the electricity is likely still generated by burning fossil fuels. I'm trying to do my own research, but I was hoping for a second opinion. Thanks!

I have sworn off flying for many years, ever since Greta Thunberg made me aware of the massive carbon emissions from leisure travel. I understand I’m one person but I want to envision a future where I can visit my friends across the world. This isn’t an ethics question/I already know the whole shebang about carbon footprints being an oil marketing campaign. I just want to know if there is any transport technology that exists for consumers at this point that can realistically allow for international travel. Back to Greta, I know she sails places but she’s a celebrity and the sailors want publicity. Worse, sailing takes forever. What do you guys think?

I’ve been trying to live a more eco-friendly life, but it hasn’t been easy. My biggest challenge has been finding affordable sustainable products. Sometimes, it feels like the greener options are either too expensive or not easily available.

I’m still figuring things out, but I try to make small changes whenever I can.

What about you? What’s been the hardest part of living sustainably? Let’s share our experiences and ideas.

Does anybody know of any sustainable clothing manufacturers in India? My girlfriend wishes to start a clothing brand and is looking at having some samples made, but is struggling to find sustainable, ethical manufacturers. Any help would be appreciated!

Is there any hope that we won't use up all resources by 2100 or some other worryingly close deadline? Are there alternatives?

Sustainability can feel overwhelming, but I’ve learned that small, consistent habits can actually make a big difference over time. One of the simplest changes I made was using fabric scraps and thrifted materials for creative projects instead of buying new. Not only has it saved me money, but it’s also reduced waste and made me more mindful of what I consume.

Another habit I’ve embraced is propagating plants instead of buying new ones. It’s such a rewarding (and free!)

I know everyone’s sustainability journey looks different, and I’d love to hear yours!

💚 What’s one small sustainable habit you’ve adopted that has made a big difference in your life?

Whether it’s composting, upcycling, using less plastic, or something totally unique.

I don’t understand why this doesn’t exist. Compostable floss exists. Compostable plastic substitutes exist. Has anyone ever heard of one? Someone in product development, get me a BPI certified floss pick, and I will give you so much money.
