How important is shifting consumer demand in the fight against the climate crisis? 60% of global emissions can be traced back to household purchasing decisions. And we know millions of people are ready to make changes to what they buy to protect the environment. There are obvious barriers though - the sometimes higher cost of sustainably produced goods, the lack of clear product labelling and the issue of planned obsolescence. Despite this, there ARE changes we can all make straight away, if we want to, that save us money, reduce emissions and send a strong market signal. Read more in my latest newsletter. Link in bio!

🚨New program alert!🚨
For all of our Aussie members, I'm so excited to announce a brand new program in the One Small Step app, out today: 🌏 Climate Investing 💸
It explains how you can invest some of your money with the purpose of generating long-term returns & passive income for yourself, while materially supporting initiatives that are decarbonizing the planet. We walk you through what climate investing is, the funds in Australia that are currently doing it, how to get started, and give you resources to help you when deciding whether this is right for you. Check it out by downloading the app if you haven't already and tapping on the link in our bio!
A new book just out, @claireorourke ’s #TogetherWeCan is a fantastic and inspiring read we recommend. It's a collection of powerful stories of everyday people doing amazing things to give our planet a future. It shows how all of us can use our own unique strengths to tackle climate change. I was so proud One Small Step's work was featured in this too. You can order your copy at your local bookstore or via the link in our bio.
Check out this recent podcast episode from @apositiveclimatepodcast , an uplifting podcast about tackling climate change. It features One Small Step Founder, Lily Dempster, explaining what you can personally do about climate change, why "individual vs systemic change" is an unhelpful false binary, and what we can focus on instead to help rapidly decarbonize our society.
