Sustainability, eco-friendliness, minimalism, slow fashion, less waste, veganism, plastic-free are all so important topics more people need to get involved with.
Still, Influencers with new outfits daily, holding animal-cruelty make-up into the camera and earning money for promoting brands that exploit their workers and risk their lives. They jet around the world living in the most luxurious hotels and resorts and the only value they give to their followers is living the life everyone else dreams of.
I know they post great pictures, make everything look beautiful and I don’t want to hate on them. I just described this as the complete negative example and luckily most Influencers have some sort of positive value they spread.
But if you clicked on this blog post it means you are interested in other topics, in things that are far more important than pretty looks and money and that also gives you a purpose in life: to help save the future of our planet.
Media is a wonderful tool to spread awareness, information, motivation, inspiration and tips. Now we just need to give those people that have an important message, a positive impact and valuable information and tips to share more attention.
I love Instagram for my daily inspiration, education and motivation and the cool thing is, that there are already so many awesome accounts sharing important, helpful and still pretty and inspirational pictures and videos on their story and feed.
Nici is a German blogger and currently one of my favourites! She shares everything around less waste, veganism and minimalism of her daily life in her story and feed and I love that she always mentions that she isn’t perfect herself and that sustainability is always a journey.
Blogger, influencer and podcaster from Swiss sharing her market shopping baskets, green bowls, fridge sneak peeks, and zero waste living with us. She is also into fair, slow fashion and fitness.
Jess is vegetarian and not one of the super sustainable bloggers. She just shares her life and tries to aim for a better tomorrow.
