5 ways to turn Black Friday into green Friday
Black Friday is almost here again. A big dilemma when you love the planet but fancy a good bargain too. Don’t worry - with these tips you can shop sustainably and responsibly!
1. BUY WITH INTENTION
Instead of being seduced by all those great and shiny deals you come across. Decide what you want to buy beforehand and why. That's better for the planet and your bank account!
2. SHOP PRODUCTS FROM SUSTAINABLE BRANDS
For example, brands that produce sustainably, with less impact on the environment. Or choose products from brands that compensate their footprint by donating to charities or planting trees. Or brands that do both. (Hint: you’re looking at one!)
3. SHOP FOR LONG LIFESPAN PRODUCTS
Do you know what is worse than buying things? Buying things that you will only use for a short period of time. So, when shopping, choose products with a long lifespan. When products are stylish, well made and designed to be recycled, you can love using them as long as you want – without feeling guilty when you finally let them go. (Wait, where have you heard that before?)
4. ADD A GREENER TOUCH
Do you want to help out mother Nature? Go for products that help you add a greener touch to your daily life - and save some money, too. Now is the perfect moment to start separating waste, save on water by airing your clothes instead of washing them and to prevent food waste by stocking up on storage solutions.
5. First reduce, then reuse, lastly recycle
