#Door24 #Solidarity: Spend time with your loved ones today and show them how important they are for you. And don’t forget to show some love and solidarity with our evaluation team as well! We would be really thankful if you could fill this out: https://t.co/cC2QRiX819

#Door23 #Purpose: Social and #environmental organisations need our support. Don’t just be a consumer: Become politically active, participate in local communities, join a non-profit organization of your choice. #sustainableadvent

#Door22 #Timewealth: Advertisement eats up so much of our time and material resources. Put a "no advertisement“ sticker on your postbox and unsubscribe from commercial newsletters. For the more ambitioned: Try spending a day without any Internet and TV.

#Door21 #Selfefficacy: Marmalade, clothes, or your bike – #selfmade or #selfrepaired is sustainable, cheap, and makes you proud. Therefore, whatever you need today, #doityourself today! #sustainableadvent #DIY

#Door20 #Sufficiency: Higher, faster, further?
It’s not easy to be content with yourself. Ask a friend what she/he really appreciates about you. #sustainableadvent #frugality #positivepsychology

#Door19 #Enjoy: How about you? What is fun, relaxing and at the same time environment-friendly? Take some time to laze around, to read a good book or whatever you enjoy without using energy. #sustainableadvent

[Sustainable Advent Calendar @sustainadvent]

#Door18 #MakingPlans: Which door was most exciting for you? Cover that topic over the long term. Note down your first steps which you can track tomorrow! #sustainableadvent #saveenergy #govega

#Door16 #SlowTraveling: Think about how you could reach your next favourite destination without taking the airplane. Maybe by bike or shared car? #sustainableadvent #worldasagift

#Door15 #Move: How could you get to work, school or university without a car? Make a plan today for how you will commute tomorrow using your feet, your bicycle or public transport instead (credits: Alina Stange/Critical Mass https://t.co/Xh6ZdVZfAE)

#Door14 #Clothing: Make yourself a present out of something you already have!
Give a second chance to a favourite piece of clothing.
#Repair it or let a friend or family member help you repair it. #sustainableadvent

#Door13 #Plastics: #Reduce, #reuse, #recycle. Why don’t you start right now? Grab a bag and try to buy as little plastic or as few products wrapped in plastic as possible today. You can do it! #noplastic #betterwithoutplastic #sustainableadvent

#Door12 #Inspire: Half time! Talk to someone about an action you did in the last 12 days, that worked well for you. There’s no need to be modest: your friends and family are probably happy to hear about the nice things you are doing. #sustainableadvent

Many consumers are buying bottled water that was bottled from a faraway spring. The transportation required to get these bottles to consumers causes substantial #greenhouse gas emissions. You can easily avoid these harmful results by drinking tap water instead. #Door11

[Sustainable Advent Calendar @sustainadvent]

#Door11 #Water: Bottled water can pose health risks when packaged in plastic bottles and is ecologically harmful. Don’t buy water in plastic bottles; buy #reusable bottles instead. You could also #reuse a glass bottle that you already have at home.

#Nature can work wonders. Just the sight of some green plants in the room can help decrease the pain suffered by someone who is ill. Also a walk in nature is restorative, decreases #stress and makes you happier and more satisfied. (Photo: Birte Rauch) #door10

#Door10 #ExperienceNature: Turn your smartphone off and take a walk! Take some time off, and enjoy #nature with open eyes. From time to time it helps to get a good look at the landscapes and living things that make a #sustainable lifestyle worthwile! (Photo: Birte Rauch)

Do you need some ideas for #sharing or #swapping? Try #carsharing or #foodsharing. Or what about community gardens? Get to know your neighboors better through asking for tools or some cooking ingredients. @FoodsharingDE @Gartenpaten @mundraub_org #door9
