The “1.5°C lifestyle” aims to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, as set by the IPCC. This lifestyle involves reducing carbon emissions, minimizing waste, conserving resources, and embracing sustainable living practices to mitigate climate change impacts.

- Raise Awareness: Highlight the urgency of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
- Promote Sustainable Living: Provide eco-friendly products to reduce carbon footprints.
- Empower Individuals: Equip people with tools and knowledge for sustainable choices.
- Drive Behaviour Change: Encourage sustainable lifestyles and consumption patterns.
- Support Local Economies: Source items from local businesses to boost community-based economic development.
