We face an existential threat due to excessive carbon emissions that are disrupting weather patterns and affecting the natural balance of our beloved planet.
Our day-to-day choices have serious consequences as roughly two-thirds of all carbon emissions are caused by collective human consumption.
There is an opportunity to halve the emissions by making green choices but the majority of us do not know the basics of sustainable living.
We are a knowledge sharing social platform, and our mission is to inform and inspire green choices one community, one household and one decision at a time.
We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. – Native American Proverb
The third planet from the sun is one of its kind! Formed over billions of years, home to millions of species of plants and animals, Mother Earth provides for all our needs. As the most evolved species in the ecosystem, humans have made tremendous progress, but this growth has come at a cost to the environment.
Given how far we have come with modern living, making green choices is complex and requires significant trade-offs at the individual, household, and community level. Sadly, there is no one-size-fits-all playbook for sustainable living. But every decision matters, and it needs to be made with all the right information.
Greentist is a dynamic, digital community! Our users may ask targeted questions, share experiences, and collaborate with like-minded individuals. We highlight diverse aspects of sustainable living - ranging from food and waste to travel and housing. I hope you will use the platform to inspire real change!
