Nudging for Future
This year, not only “Fridays for Future” stands as a symbol for a sustainability movement, but also our NudgeNight 2021.
“Nudging for Future – Sustain the planet I Sustain Humanity” was the slogan of the digital event. Our green mission is to nudge you towards more sustainable production, investment, decision-making and consumption for a livable future.
Consumption and production – driving forces of the global economy – continue to exploit the natural environment and resources in ways that have destructive effects on the planet. Sustainability is about using resources only to the extent that they are available in equal quality and quantity for future generations. It is also about decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation, increasing resource efficiency and promoting sustainable lifestyles.
On this website, you have the opportunity to watch our Nudges and learn more about the reasons why environmental awareness and actual environmental behavior diverge in many cases.
Have fun!
