It’s more urgent than ever to continue doing our bit to help save the planet – and it should be obvious by now that a collective effort can make a huge difference.
While adjusting our daily habits and making more informed eco-conscious decisions is one of the more achievable and practical ways we can reduce our carbon footprint, a perception still sticks that it isn’t always as easy as it sounds.
Earlier this year, spoke to its global community of readers about sustainability as part of its Planet & People report. More than 4,000 respondents gave their views on sustainability and the changes they’d make in their own lives to do more to tackle the climate crisis.
A huge 95 percent of respondents said they’d be willing to make compromises to live more sustainably, with 72 percent saying that ‘changing daily habits’ is their preferred way to contribute.
However, making eco-conscious decisions still feels difficult for many, with 28 percent of respondents admitting they find it ‘tricky’ compared to 21% saying they find it ‘easy’.
That’s what gave the idea to introduce a new product feature across its content. The Sustainable Stamp will now show up across ’s reviews and guides to simply and clearly signpost venues and events that have eco-friendly objectives at the core of their business.
The newly introduced stamp will help readers to more easily identify the venues employing progressive and world-saving sustainable practices. The idea is to empower people to make informed eco-conscious decisions on everything from where they eat to where they stay.
Our recent Planet & People survey asked respondents what they’d be interested in doing to become more sustainable and help save the planet. The top two results focused on food and eating out, with 68 percent saying they’d choose restaurants with locally sourced ingredients and 67 percent saying they’d make choices based on venues that employ reduced food waste practices.
So, it makes sense to mark the launch of ’s Sustainable Stamp with five newly updated Best Sustainable Restaurants guides, which spotlight tasty eco-friendly eats in London, Los Angeles, New York, Singapore and Sydney.
This is the start of an ongoing commitment to spotlight the best sustainable venues and events in cities across the world, as well as clearly signposting eco-friendly options in our more general guides.
The Sustainable Stamp is not an official certification by , but instead utilises third-party certification to help clearly highlight venues and events that have been recognised as sustainable. This includes businesses that have been acknowledged by organisations such as The Sustainable Restaurant Association, B Corp, and Green Michelin Star, among others.
Cross referencing third-party certification with our own expertly-reviewed and trusted recommendations, we have produced guides to some of the best culinary experiences that use sustainable practices.
With nearly three-quarters of people wanting to change their daily habits in order to lead a more eco-conscious lifestyle, we’re hopeful that the Sustainable Stamp across ’s respected reviews and recommendations will make that adjustment just a little bit easier.
