Tip 4: Good on You - the best app for sustainable and ethical fashion
Fast fashion has a massive impact on the planet. But what happens when you do need to buy a new item of clothing? Good on You helps you to easily check the impact of your favorite brands for how sustainable and ethical they are. It’s a great starting point to move towards more sustainable living!
Tip 5: Vinted - the best app for second hand fashion
The best thing we can do is buy less. The other thing we can do is buy pre-owned! Vinted makes it easy to buy and sell vintage and pre-owned clothing instead of buying new ones.
Tip 6: Happy Cow - the best app for plant-based food

Tip 7: Forest - the best eco-friendly app for productivity and planting trees
We need some focus to fix climate change. Forest is a pomodoro app that keeps us on track - and the more we focus the more they plant trees! We love win-wins 😉
Tip 8: Ecosia - best for eco-friendly web searches
Speaking of planting trees - we’re a fan of Ecosia. They’re the search engine that plants trees from their ad revenue. That’s epic! They’re not technically an app but they’re doing great things. Give them a go!
