🌍 International nonprofit ecolabel. We make sure that the energy you consume is 100% renewable and sustainable.
📗 A project by @luonnonsuojeluliitto.

🤝 A successful sustainable development agenda requires partnerships between governments, the private sector and civil society. The global goals and the complex challenges they seek to address fit neither neatly demarcated sectors, nor national borders, and can only be met if we work together.

At EKOenergy, we cooperate with multiple environmental NGOs and organizations to realise projects in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. We also work hand in hand with energy sellers, consumers, and other relevant stakeholders in the energy market to promote sustainable energy and move towards a clean energy transition.

⚡ There has been a notable growth in the renewable energy market. More and more businesses are giving up unsustainable energy and opting for clean energy for their company image and in order to attract new investors.

In addition, wholesale prices on renewables are already going down, so making this shift has never been easier. We believe that a sustainable future is possible and the more small changes we make, the greater the outcome!

🏙️ SDG 11 aims to renew and plan cities and other human settlements in a way that offers opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation and green public spaces, while reducing resource use and environmental impact.

In EKOenergy we advocate for green and sustainable communities, and some cities have gone the extra mile by switching to EKOenergy, such as Lappeenranta in Finland and Bielefeld in Germany. Consumers of EKOenergy-labelled energy also contribute to bringing clean and safe energy to rural communities in developping countries around the world.

🔥 As wintertime approaches, some people start a fire to cook or to keep warm, while others light up their candles for a festive and cosy atmosphere at home.

Many people are of the opinion that using matches instead of disposable lighters is significantly better for the environment. Common disposable gas lighters are thrown away after they run out of gas which contributes to the growing global waste problem. At the same time, matches are made from wood and are fully biodegradable. However, thousands of trees are cut daily to produce matches which can also be used only once.

Luckily, there is a sustainable alternative – a rechargeable lighter. We encourage you to use these as they are completely flameless so it is safer to use than gas lighters and they can be recharged by USB. It is also easy to use, it works by just clicking a button. This activates a small electrical arc between two ceramic electrodes, creating a point at which you can light a candle, cigarette or fire.

🌱 Over 31,000 species around the world are threatened with extinction, which represents 27% of over 116,000 assessed species in the IUCN Red List. Forest areas continue to decline at an alarming rate, driven mainly by agricultural expansion. It is our responsability to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems to halt biodiversity loss.

In EKOenergy we aim to contribute by promoting renewable energy that has the smallest impact on the local environment, respecting protected natural resources, bird migration routes and handling forests sustainably. Thanks to EKOenergy consumers, our Environmental Fund supports river restoration projects that help mitigate the effects of hydropower in local ecosystems.

💪 Between September and October, three East Asian countries one after another announced plans to achieve carbon neutrality. By 2050 for Japan and South Korea, and before 2060 for China. These pledges were greatly welcomed by the world.

Without a doubt, reaching carbon neutrality for China, Japan and South Korea is full of unprecedented challenges. The share of fossil fuels in the total energy supply for the three countries is close to 90%. There are more than 376 million vehicles in the three countries and the share of electric vehicles is still less than 1%.

☀️ Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, su

☀️ Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all is at the core of EKOenergy's work. According to the UN, in 2018 around 789 million people didn't have access to electricity, which is not just important for daily life but also crucial for education and health facilities. Furthermore, the share of renewables in the total energy consumption worldwide in 2017 was only 17%.

EKOenergy advocates for sustainable energy generation and works towards the goal of a 100% renewable energy transition. Thanks to our Climate Fund, we also support concrete green energy projects in developing countries that help reduce energy poverty and empower rural communities.

♻️ Most of us have plenty of unnecessary thing

♻️ Most of us have plenty of unnecessary things we keep at home such as clothes or books. It’s time to start thinking more about what things you really need and what items haven’t been used lately.

Luckily, you do not have to throw such things away. You can always donate your clothes and other belongings to charity shops or to your friends. Reusing is one of the key elements towards making your life more sustainable. As they say, one person's trash can be another person's treasure!

📣 Climate change is a challenge that affects everyone, everywhere. It is affecting national economies and lives worldwide. Weather patterns are changing, sea levels are rising, and weather events are becoming more unpredictable and extreme.

But what´s our place in this story? EKOenergy is contributing to raising awareness for effective climate change-related planning and management in the least developed countries through our Climate Fund and contributing to the energy transition in more developed countries. Our EKO-team is actively participating every Friday at @Fridaysforfuture, signing petitions and letters addressed to policymakers and getting involved in many other climate action initiatives.

And you? How do you contribute to climate action? Tell us in the comments below! 👇

👧 It has been more than two years since Greta’s first sit-in outside the Swedish parliament. Her fundamental message has been clear and has not changed with time: The climate crisis is humanity’s greatest existential threat and we need to treat it as such. She inspires millions of activists worldwide to protest for change and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize two years in a row.

Do you agree with one of her most recent quotes? Let us know in the comments 👇

🌍 "The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,

🌍 "The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests." - United Nations

EKOenergy's work contributes to the realisation of the SDGs in many different ways, and this month we'll be telling you all about it. Stay tuned!

🎃 Thanks to advances in renewable energy techno

🎃 Thanks to advances in renewable energy technologies, pumpkins that become waste after Halloween, could become a sustainable source of energy. Through a process called anaerobic digestion, methane gas can be captured from the breakdown of organic matter, such as pumpkins, and then used to generate electricity.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, if 50% of food waste in the United States went through this process, it would generate enough electricity to power 2.5 million homes for an entire year. More than a billion pounds of pumpkin are produced each year in the United States, so recycling old Halloween decorations for renewable energy could have a significant impact.
