EcoFacts: What You Need to Know
Informed choices shape a better planet.
In an age of overwhelming headlines, greenwashing, and climate confusion, it’s easy to feel lost in the flood of eco-information. That’s where EcoFacts comes in. This is your trusted space for clear, simple, science-backed facts about sustainability—delivered without guilt, hype, or jargon.
Every fact we share is meant to help you make better, more informed choices in your daily life. Whether you’re shopping, commuting, eating, or recycling, knowledge is the first step toward meaningful impact.
Here are a few EcoFacts worth knowing right now:
Fact #1: The average person produces about 2 kg of waste per day.
That’s over 700 kg per year—and most of it ends up in landfills or the ocean. But up to 75% of household waste is recyclable or compostable. Simple changes like separating food waste, choosing reusable packaging, or saying no to plastic bags can reduce your footprint dramatically.
Fact #2: A 10-minute shower uses 80–100 liters of water.
Switching to a water-saving showerhead can cut that by half. Imagine saving hundreds of liters per week with just one swap!
Fact #3: Food waste generates more greenhouse gases than the aviation industry.
When food rots in landfills, it releases methane, a gas over 25x more potent than carbon dioxide. Planning meals, storing food correctly, and composting scraps all help reduce this invisible yet powerful contributor to climate change.
Fact #4: Renewable energy is now the cheapest source of electricity in most countries.
Solar and wind power aren’t just good for the environment—they’re increasingly good for your wallet too. Even if you can’t install panels at home, supporting green energy providers or community solar projects makes a difference.
Fact #5: One cotton t-shirt requires over 2,500 liters of water to produce.
That’s enough drinking water for one person for 2 years. Choosing secondhand clothes, supporting sustainable brands, or simply buying less can reduce your water footprint drastically.
