Eat for the planet today

We work closely with a lot of organisations in this space to ensure a clear and easy to follow message. These five actions are derived from experts and research by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), alongside others.

Absolutely, and don’t just take our word for it:

The United Nations Environmental Programme supported ‘Count Us In’ organisation estimates that if 1 billion people take practical action in their own lives, they could reduce as much as 20 per cent of global carbon emissions.

“A common misconception, and one that I shared until two weeks ago, is that the companies and governments are the only ones that can create change. Well, it’s true, any one man, woman or child may not have much power individually, but collectively, we do”. – Alisha Davidson, Earth Day Network

“Every one of us can help limit global warming and take care of our planet. By making choices that have less harmful effects on the environment, we can be part of the solution and influence change.” – United Nations 

“Although the magnitude of climate change may make individuals feel helpless, individual action is critical for meaningful change.” – Mia Armstrong

“It’s clear that we’ll have to change the way that we live and use our resources. We’re at a crossroads where we can choose to cooperate or carry on regardless. Can our intelligence save us? I hope so.” – David Attenborough

“Using your individual power as a consumer, however, can help push companies to source more sustainably–and that can affect how millions of hectares of land are managed”. – Rainforest Alliance

If you’re interested to know more about how our app calculates impact, this page is for you.

YEP! We’ve launched with the most accessible and impactful missions to start off with to help you get used to all things HERO.  We want to make as much difference as possible as quickly as possible, so we’ll be adding new missions you can take on in the future.

It’s important for everyone to change. It’s so so vital that governments and businesses change and there’s already some incredible institutions championing systemic change such as Greenpeace, Extinction Rebellion and Fridays for Future. We love the work they do and promote them as much as possible on the app.

HERO was made to expand their team by helping you to do your bit, however it works best for you. We believe that all change is important and we encourage individual change to help create the butterfly effect from the bottom up that will, in turn, promote governments and businesses to change from the top down too.
