Gain a better understanding
We think it is important that everyone build their own perception based on scientific research and take a stand after doing so. All we can ask from our fellow citizens is to care enough to actually get an understanding of the reality and base our behaviour and actions accordingly. Please navigate through all kinds of sources, either found here or on your own, with a critical mindset.
Don’t stop learning even after you’ve taken a stand. Knowledge is important in order to make good and sustainable choices, to influence others to do the same and to find motivation to continue. This whole website is built to spread knowledge and encourage action, so reading through this is a really good way to start understanding and learning. Start including more sustainable resources of information into your life by choosing a documentary within the theme in your next movie night or get updated about environmentally related news and events.
- Stay updated by following sustainable online groups and don’t forget to share their posts so that your friends can find the information as well. Are you interested in finding even more groups to follow or maybe want to find something a bit more niched? Check out our collaboration groups.
- Use different online resources to find your own way to sustainable places.
- Read books, watch movies and TED-talks, listen to podcasts or audiobooks. We have a bunch of recommendations.
- Add a sustainability course to your education or specialize your degree within sustainability.

- Happycow (vegan and vegetarian restaurants near you)
- Giki (sustainable living app)
- Fruktkartan (find fruit trees in your area)
