Sustainable Living Tips
Shipping options
Check out whether your chosen brand offers free shipping. A lot of the time you will need to order over a certain amount, so make sure you read through the T&C’s beforehand! Another great thing to look out for is whether they offer Click & Collect. Big retailers like Argos, Sainsbury’s and Halfords have great Click & Collect options. You can jump on your bike or pick them up on your way home from work.
Newsletter discounts
Sign up for a newsletter or add yourself onto the mailing list of some of your favourite sustainable brands to get regular updates, deals and discounts that are exclusive to you. It’s (usually) completely free to sign up, just enter your email address and have unmissable deals delivered straight to your inbox. Avoid getting newsletters or brochures sent to your house, instead always opt for an online or downloadable magazine you can scroll through on your phone. This will eliminate the amount of paper and plastic coming through your letterbox and is much more environmentally friendly.
Support environmental charities
Shop online with Savoo and not only will you save money with all our top discount codes and vouchers but we will also donate to a charity of your choice every single time. There’s plenty of environmental charities to choose from as well so you can give back to charities that are trying to save the world! Whether that’s supporting Garden Organic, the Bumblebee Conservation Trust or The World Forest Organisation there’s plenty of amazing charities you could be helping for no extra cost to you! Find out exactly how it works right here.
Shop local and independent
We’ve all been enticed into the world of fast fashion. The pull of cheap deals and clothes that can be in your wardrobe the very next day is at times irresistible. Fashion isn’t the only culprit. There are plenty of other chain retailers in other big industries that contribute to the world’s pollution problem, so shopping locally and with independent retailers wherever possible is crucial. From clothes to food, the closer to home these products are made and bought, the less carbon is created with their transportation. Not only that, but you’ll be supporting the local economy which means that in time you’ll likely have even more local items to choose from. So it’s a win-win!
Fill your wardrobe with some unique stable pieces from alternative fashion retailers such as Vegan Outfitters. Explore more locally sourced gift ideas from websites like Not on the High Street and Trouva to search thousands of best-selling independent businesses in one place and find unique products that you won’t find anywhere else.
