♻️ Renewable energy
- Search for sustainable energy providers (e.g. Ostrom)
- Pro Tip: Not every green energy provider actually helps to foster the energy transition to more sustainable options. Often this energy is produced anyway and the customer that booked “green energy”, just gets the energy with this label. So be careful when choosing your energy provider.
- Energy providers with the labels ok-Power-Label and Grüner-Strom-Label (in Germany) guarantee a minimum of benefit for energy transition
