Welcome to Your Daily Dot where Dot will share tips, advice, and stories on how we can make our world better.

Dear Reader,

You might be considering reducing your consumption recently because of (*waves arms*) … reasons. Of course, reducing consumption is and has always been a plus for the planet. So let’s salute today’s Climate Champs — the people of Finland — for leading the way. A pair of surveys of the Finnish people noted that they’re acutely aware of the impacts of climate change. “More than 85% said they had seen the effects of climate change and 88% the impacts of disappearing nature around the world,” reported EuroNews. And this awareness has led to significant changes in behavior, with 40% citing lifestyle changes in transport, housing, and food. But more than half — 53% — have also reduced how much they buy, a 10% increase over two years ago. And a whopping 91% wish that products were better made and lasted longer, a sentiment Dot shares wholeheartedly. 

The Finns would be right at home in Bluedot’s Marketplace, where our Buy Less, Buy Better ethos aims to curate well- and responsibly made products that will stand the test of time. Check it out. And if you haven’t signed up for the Marketplace newsletter, what are you waiting for? (I bet the Finns are subscribers!)

Unconsumptively,

Dot
