ABOUT US

Every time we spend money, we make choices - not just about what to eat or wear but about what kind of world we live in. Our choices affect animals, other people, and nature. We can harm all creatures without realising it—or we can help protect them. But how do we know which choices will drive positive change?

The Considerate Consumer is an international team of sustainability activists guiding you in making sustainable consumption decisions. We provide an overview of the sustainable options to choose from when making daily consumption decisions, guide you through the how-tos, and help you shift towards a sustainable lifestyle.
