Every year, around one third of all food produced – equivalent to 1.3 billion tonnes – ends up rotting and/or in the trash due to poor transportation and harvesting practices. Reduce this reality by consciously buying and consuming your food.

Promote nature-based, sustainable products that you are proud of.

Consider purchasing clothing from brands that engage in responsible modes of production and support “slow fashion”.

If safe, drink tap water and use reusable bottles.

Use cloth bags in the markets.

Give day-to-day tools a technological upgrade. Scientific and technological capacity is fundamental to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production.

Encourage children to adopt recycling gestures from a young age (at school, at home, during outdoors activities, etc.).

When possible, consider purchasing organic food to support the agricultural transition to organic modes of production.
