Climate actions
Steps this helps you take.
By purchasing second-hand items, you reduce the demand for new products and the energy needed for their production, contributing to lower carbon emissions and resource consumption.
The world has already enough of everything. Especially in big cities second-hand marketplaces or refurbishing services and malls are available. Buying pre-loved (furniture and home decor) saves you money, extends the lifespans of products and keeps it away from landfills. If you need to carry large items, ask your friends to carry it with you in public transport. Don't be afraid to use allot of space or feel guilty about it. it is a structural problem that will get better the more people demand it. You can also rent a car sharing car (or ask a friend to drive). Usually this is still cheaper than buying a new item.
