🩸 TABOO ALERT!

In November 2020 Scotland gave to the whole world a great example: it became the first country to state that all period products will be available for free!

Great news... but what if facing Period Poverty would mean contributing to environmental pollution? It is estimated that every woman uses around 11,000 disposable sanitary products in their lifetime, whilst every single day an average of 27,938 used tampons and applicators are collected on our world's beaches.

With one ACTION you can contribute to:
🩸 reducing period waste
🩸 saving money because one cup can be re-used for years
🩸 greater efficiency as a cup holds three times more than a regular tampon
🩸 improved comfort as cups are made from silicone which doesn't dry you up
🩸 protecting nature as fibres aren't left behind, which can happen with tampon use

🇰🇷 Have you heard of the RE100? It is a global campaign seeking a transition to 100% renewable energy, involving over 280 big name companies such as Apple and Google.

Over in Korea, the government has recently revised the Enforcement Decree of the Electric Utility Act. This revision will allow 3rd party renewable power purchase agreements (PPAs). This is a huge step for Korean companies and it brings us one step closer to achieving the RE100 goals and moving towards a global green transition.

🤝2020 was a strange year in many ways but there

🤝2020 was a strange year in many ways but there has been good news for climate action too! We are happy to share with you that our contribution to projects fighting energy poverty exceeded €1,000,000 in 2020!

For each MWh of EKOenergy consumption, €0.10 goes to our Climate Fund. With these contributions, we finance new renewable energy projects in developing countries. These projects change lives by improving access to reliable, clean energy and bring our world closer to reaching the Sustainable Development Goals.

With our 47th Climate Fund project, our contribution has exceeded €1,000,000 since 2015. And before 2020 ended, we had supported the 50th EKOenergy Climate Fund project!

💆 We often think that, to really make a change,

💆 We often think that, to really make a change, what we need is self-discipline and that we can make any number of changes stick if, with will-power and gritted teeth, we perform them day after day.

However, there is an underlying, often subconscious resistance to change and it takes time to fight. Trying to battle with this head on, most likely, won’t work. This is not a problem of a lack of willpower. This is not a failure of self-discipline. It’s rather proof of how hard it is to make a change. The implementation of little transformations can only come with a different conception of consistency.

So, just try focusing on the one change. Integrate it into your life, ingrain it into your routine, firmly establish it into your mindset. You’ll find that your consistency in executing this one task – your ability to stick to this change – will improve dramatically. It will become easier and easier until you don’t even have to consciously think about it. This is when you have achieved a new habit.

🎆 Let's keep the fireworks virtual! Every year

🎆 Let's keep the fireworks virtual!

Every year, thousands of fireworks go off to celebrate the new year, amongst other events. This tradition may be very beautiful, but it is also detrimental to the natural environment.

Fireworks release various chemicals into the atmosphere, many of which can be harmful both people and the environment. The bright colours in firework displays come from metallic compounds such as barium or aluminium that can have negative impacts on animal and human health.

Additionally, to produce the oxygen needed for an explosion, many fireworks contain oxidisers known as perchlorates. These can dissolve in water, contaminating rivers, lakes and drinking water. Finally, fireworks release a fine cloud of smoke and particulate matter, affecting local air quality.

Why not create and share virtual fireworks this year? Let us know what you think in the comments.

💫 Ready to set your goals for 2021?

Despite everything that has happened, the end of 2020 marks the end of an era. It has been ten years since we set the 2020 goals. A lot of efforts and achievements have been made, but there is still a lot to do in order to build a more sustainable world.

We at EKOenergy, as an NGO involved in the achievement of the SDG goals and as a group of individuals, decided to take some time to think about how we can contribute to sustainability in our daily life.

👣 Our motto is "small steps for a better world", how would you like to contribute to sustainability in your everyday life?

🥊 Let's fight climate change by preventing food

🥊 Let's fight climate change by preventing food waste!

The most anticipated time of the year, the time for spending time with loved ones is here: Christmas!

When we say Christmas, many things come to mind: happiness, togetherness, snow, toys, and excessive amounts of food. Indeed this is the time of year with the highest amount of food waste. Food waste isn't just a social or humanitarian concern, it is also an environmental one. When we waste food, we also waste all the energy and water it takes to grow, harvest, transport, and package it.

Want to know how to prevent food waste? Here are some tips for the coming days:

🍲 Plan ahead and buy only what you need
🍲 Use your freezer
🍲 Be creative with leftovers

Merry Christmas from the EKOenergy team!
