When we keep an item of clothing in circulation for as long as possible, we lower the emission per wear, send less to landfills, and save money.

Every day we're on Earth is Earth Day 🌎 How many climate actions did you check off the list? Which ones are on your to-do list?

Folks using Commons celebrate Earth Day every day, and we have the data to prove it. Check out our Commons Community Impact Report for 2022. thecommons.earth/conscious-spen…

Our daily spending choices can shape systems and lower global emissions. Check out "Why Cutting Your Personal Carbon Footprint Matters" by @semafor and @timmcdonnell, featuring newly released Commons' community data. semafor.com/article/04/21/…

Tapping into our carbon consciousness is all about improving our understanding and recognition of how we use carbon, and bringing our consumption back in balance with the planet.
