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

🇹🇷In Turkey, more than 60% of the electricity generation in 2020 came from renewable sources. While in 2019 more than 80% of the country's energy consumption was mainly met by imported oil and gas, Turkey has taken a significant step towards reducing its dependence on fossil fuels!

We are glad to see progress towards renewables in many countries, they are good examples in the fight against climate change and give us hope here at EKOenergy!

🗯 Do you know EKO-Sofia, the EKOenergy comic about energy transition?

YES, EKOenergy has a comic of its own and it's been translated into 31 languages! Thanks to Anita Zaramella (the artist) and many volunteer translators.

If you want to know more about the EKO-Sofia’s campaign "Switch to EKOenergy" you can read the comic by clicking on the following link:

🌍 Only a few habitats on Earth are still intact

🌍 Only a few habitats on Earth are still intact, according to research by a team of scientists.

In these areas, there is little evidence of human activity and no loss of species. This is the case, for example, in parts of the Congo Basin, the Amazon, the Russian tundra and the Sahara. One of the scientists involved explained that in other studies, the supposedly intact habitats were determined with the help of satellite images. The percentage of intact habitats was much higher than just under three percent. However, if species that had disappeared were deliberately reintroduced into almost untouched areas, the proportion of intact habitats could be increased to around 20 percent. The areas could then gradually regain their ecological functionality. The study is published in the journal Frontiers in Forests and Global Change.

Let's act together, against the climate catastrophy.

🏥 Thanks to the consumers of EKOenergy and the @siemenpuu Foundation, a solar electrification project in two health centres in Mali is starting to take shape!

This project includes the installation of solar energy equipment and fridges in the health centres, for the 15,000 inhabitants to benefit!

This is one of the many examples of our fight against energy poverty in developing countries. Many more projects are coming soon... stay tuned! 👀

🧐 Who hasn't had an unpleasant surprise when discovering their electricity bill?

Monitoring your energy consumption allows you to control your electricity budget and limit your environmental impact. By knowing our daily consumption, it is easier to make eco-gestures to reduce our energy consumption and limit our energy waste.

Let's not forget that the cleanest energy is the one we do not consume!

🗣️ Use EKOenergy!

The can of beer EKO-Wael is holding is from Saimaa Brewing Co, made with EKOenergy!

To use EKOenergy-labelled renewables, you can contact one of our licensed sellers. There are many reasons to switch: EKOenergy-labelled renewables speed up the transition to 100% renewables + make extra positive impact on the environment thanks to our sustainability criteria and Climate Fund projects.

🌎 There is always a choice when it comes to protecting the environment and tackling climate change

Consider Ray Anderson's company as an example of a sustainable business: he increased sales and double profits in his carpet company while switching the traditional "take - make - waste" industrial system with his Mount Sustainability vision.

Ray Anderson changed his business perspective towards prioritising the environment too, determining its ecological impact and setting aggressive sustainability targets of zero environmental impact by 2020. He finally achieved them by 2019 after almost 25 years of work.

You can turn into a sustainable leader too!

🏙️ Did you know? Lappeenranta is the first EKOenergy-city in the world!

Lappeenrannan Energia Oy’s EKOenergy-certified electricity generated with biomass and wind power has met the strict European criteria for the production of ecological electricity. Many cities in Europe are already using renewable energy but reportedly Lappeenranta is the first city in the world to also adopt sustainability criteria for the procurement of electricity.

We hope to see #moreofthis in the future!

🏥 Renewables in action!

Beyond the immediate COVID-19 response, the solar electrification of health facilities in regions affected by energy poverty helps to build better health systems that leave no one behind. With reliable solar electricity, clinics can remain open for longer, women can give birth without life-threatening power cuts, health workers can safely use medical equipment, have uninterrupted access to clean water, as well as improved capacity, communications and data continuity – all while helping clinics reduce their operating costs and carbon emissions.

It also creates local jobs by training technicians to install and maintain solar panels, providing much needed livelihoods to vulnerable communities.

We hope to see renewables being implemented more and more!

⚡️Some concrete results for EKOenergy in its fight against energy poverty!

Thanks to EKOenergy consumers, 24,000€ have been allocated to install solar equipment in 8 maternity units in rural Madagascar, where access to electricity remains limited.

We are glad to see that despite covid and the weather constraints, the project is about to succeed!

Led by Santé Sud in partnership with the Malagasy solidarity innovation company Jirogasy, the project includes the distribution of solar kits to power the refrigerator for vaccines, lighting for patient care, and access to IT tools and electronic devices.

🍃 Fossil fuel use emits a lot of CO2 and is run

🍃 Fossil fuel use emits a lot of CO2 and is running dry. Very soon it will no longer be sufficient to meet human needs. Faced with the depletion of fossil fuels, the energy transition has become an obvious way to fight global warming. The transition to renewable energies is a first step towards a sustainable world!

Indeed, the development of renewable energies promotes energy independence, strengthens access to electricity for all, and therefore access to education and health. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution would decrease and so people's health would improve. The energy transition also boosts economic development by affecting the price of electricity and promoting the creation of green jobs.

The transition to an economy where sobriety, proximity and sustainability prevail has become fundamental thanks to an energy and ecological transition!
