New year, new challenges!

We all enjoy symbolic dates, whether celebrating with the best night of the year, or having tea under the covers with a special person; the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new one is living proof of the passage of time.

That's why this is a time for reflection, to look at what has passed and create new energy for what is to come. It may sound a bit idealistic, but this constant reminder of temporality that comes with the new years has an effect on us, making us question: who are we and what impact do we want to leave on the planet?

The personal resolutions of the Equal Food team.

We're sharing some of our personal New Year's resolutions with you, and maybe they'll inspire you!

• Going to the supermarket and not bringing any plastic containers or bags;
• Always carry a canteen for drinking water or tea and a small cloth bag for unexpected purchases;
• Reducing our personal ecological footprint: driving less and cycling more, flying less and taking the train more!
• Shop according to the season, choose your location, and support diversity!

Projects worth supporting

Over the past decade, we have made considerable progress in understanding what needs to be done so that we can continue to live on our planet under favorable conditions! There is still much work to be done, but the hope that this will happen remains alive and makes all the difference!

We want to share with you some initiatives, associations, and projects that you should familiarize yourself with in 2022:

• Vegetarian Challenge: for you to try a 100% vegetarian diet with the support of someone who understands the subject!
• Green Association: for you to help plant more trees and make the planet greener!
• Refood: so you can help distribute more meals to those who need them most.

And also some sustainable brands and stores that we love and want to support:

• Maria Granel: to do all your shopping in bulk, avoiding waste and also the use of plastic;
• Zero Store: for all your more sustainable everyday purchases!
• Vintage for a Cause: a clothing brand that offers upcycled materials and has a social impact.

A step forward towards a more sustainable lifestyle.

In recent years, January has become the month when people around the world adopt new habits, whether it's consuming more fruits and vegetables, reducing plastic use, reducing food waste, and even reducing our ecological footprint.
