- Traveling, especially within the city, on foot, by bike, or in electric vehicles
- Conscious consumption of animal products: It’s better to choose a high-quality cut of meat from the region, locally caught fish, and organic products whenever possible
- Drink tap water and fill it into metal or glass bottles.
- Buy regional products at farmers' markets and weekly markets
- Bring your own reusable cups instead of buying "to go"
- Cotton bags and produce bags instead of plastic bags

- Use reusable alternatives instead of single-use plastic products (cutlery, plates, straws)
Often, the examples mentioned can do even more good! Many brands support projects in developing countries. For example, by buying fair-trade organic chocolate, you can help ensure that children can go to school instead of having to work.
