Learn sustainability
one step at the time

The blog is full of quick reads, for when you are on the go, if that is what you like doing, or when you want to learn about the most varied array of subjects in a shorter format.

The blog is divided in 3 categories: The Be... Pages

• Be Science-Based: This is where you are going to find articles that explain why some things are better than others and the science behind sustainability

• Be Conscious: This is where you find the brands that are doing good, or at least trying to.

• Be in the Known: This is where you find the news about what is happening in the sustainability world.

The Blog is updated twice weekly so that you always have something to reed and to learn.

The Learning Programmes are concrete learning materials created for you. They are online courses with a certificate that you gain when you complete the programme.

They are divided in small chunks so that you learn without being exhausted and so that you can always go out and come back for the rest.

They are also accessible from any device so that you can learn on the go (pay attention to your surroundings of course 😜)

The courses are numbered so that you can start with the foundations of sustainability knowledge and build upon them. We want you to learn properly and not all over the place.

Shop Local is a feature that helps you find sustainable businesses and markets in your area. Buying locally is crucial for sustainability, and we provide a comprehensive directory to make it easier for you. Our platform includes: - A map and list of farmers' markets, refill shops, and other sustainable businesses. - Over 600 locations across the UK, USA, Portugal, and Lithuania. Our primary focus is on groceries, but we also include other types of sustainable businesses. This is just the beginning, and we aim to expand our directory further.

SustainYourAbility offers a variety of features to help you live more sustainably: - Learning Programmes: Online courses with certificates. - Shop Local: Find sustainable businesses and markets near you. - Volunteering Catalogue: Discover charities related to your passions. - Loyalty Programme: Earn points (leaves) for long-term engagement. - Blog Pages: Quick reads on various sustainability topics. - Referral Programme: Invite friends and earn rewards. - Members' Forum: Engage with the community. - Newsletter: Stay updated with the latest news. Features may vary depending on the plan you choose.

The Volunteering Catalogue, as the name indicates, is a catalogue for volunteering. This is where you can find a great collection of charities working in the sustainability area.

This catalogue is ordered by passions because it is better to do something we enjoy, rather than something we do not.

There are already 100 charities and many more are to come.

The Referral Programme allows you to invite friends, family, or anyone to join SustainYourAbility. When someone subscribes using your referral code, both you and your friend earn 20 leaves (points). These points can be redeemed for discounts and other rewards. It's a win-win situation where you both benefit from the exchange. For more details on how to use your leaves, check the Loyalty Programme FAQ.

The Loyalty Programme rewards you for long-term engagement with SustainYourAbility. The longer you stay, the more leaves (points) you earn. You can collect leaves in various ways, such as: - Staying subscribed to our platform. - Following us on social media. - Participating in community activities. Leaves can be redeemed for discounts and other rewards. We also celebrate your SustainYourAbility anniversary with additional points. For more details, visit our Loyalty Programme page.

The Members' Group is where you can contact the other members and where you can exchange ideas, learn from each other and make connections with likeminded people. It is essentially the SustainYourAbility social media.

Being on this journey with good people is way better than alone.
