Lots of Small Changes = Big Impact in the World

A collection of small decisions can equal a big impact, and so taking a deep dive into your day-to-day lifestyle can have huge benefits.

With our app, if you start to measure your carbon footprint of travelling, you’ll have simple & powerful data at your fingertips to make a meaningful change in your life! If your live in London, you could start to remove the carbon footprint of taking the bus everyday and instead use your shiny new trainers you’ve bought yourself for the 2018-gym-rush. The more really small changes you can make to your everyday living, the impact that can have on the world my really surprise you! Go out there and have a huge impact around the globe this year! 🌍

Re-use that Coffee Mug for your daily Starbucks/Pret Coffee

Have you got those Monday Blues from overspending this Jan & Fab, or have the New Years resolution to be more eco-conscious? Well re-using your new coffee mug will hit both sweet-spots as most high-street coffee shops will offer you a discount if you use your reusable mug when you go for your 7am/8am or 4pm daily coffee. Pret a Manger recently announced a 50p discount on their coffee’s if you use your reusable mug! With over 2.5 billion coffee cups estimated to be used every year, it’s time to make a change to your coffee routine & save some $$ in 2018 — is this a daunting change? Perhaps start by adding it to your CTW Wednesday or your 2018 goals. Coffee can literally change the world!

Think big, and then bigger!

Start to think big, and then think even bigger how you want to impact the world throughout your week. You’ll feel energised and have ambition running through your veins to kick-start your imagination and change your world every Monday🌎 !
