Sure, donations or volunteering are the supreme disciplines when it comes to charity. But there are also other ways to do good – without much effort.

4 very simple ways to do good

Kindly please

Have you ever been annoyed by an unfriendly cashier or a taciturn conductor? Everyone can have a bad day, but remember: You can set a good example. Smile at the people around you, tip generously, and be extra friendly to wait staff. Simple example: If Steward:essen can award a business class upgrade, then they certainly won’t think about the grumpy passengers who couldn’t get their teeth apart. But to the people who made a positive impression as soon as they entered the aircraft. As the saying goes: As it calls into the forest, it echoes out again.

buy favorite products

Pay attention to special promotions from your favorite brands – then you can also do good with them. For example, the beauty brands Lancôme, Biotherm, Armani Beauty, YSL Beauty, Kiehl’s, Mugler, Urban Decay, IT Cosmetics, Shiseido and many more as part of the “Sustainability Beauty Pact” from August 1st to 7th, 2022 in their Green Beauty Week is obliged to donate one euro to the Nabu for every product sold from the Green Beauty portfolio. A purchase here is worth twice as much.

“Climate change and the associated effects on the environment are the greatest challenge of our time. For us as a selective cosmetics industry, this means: There is no alternative to sustainable action. That’s why numerous brands have already committed themselves to the Sustainability Beauty Pact in order to take responsibility together and to tackle social and ecological problems as an industry,” says Isabel Neudeck, VKE Vice President and Managing Director L’Oréal Luxe Germany/Austria.

A heart for crooked things

The next time you go shopping, just put products in the basket that aren’t the prettiest on display. Because the crooked cucumbers are left lying around much more often than the straight ones. But they all taste equally good! If you like, you can even order vegetable boxes with rescued, imperfect vegetables for your home, for example from etepetete.

To listen carefully

Someone tells you something, but your thoughts are actually on something completely different? Sure, we all have a lot on the table, but it’s also important during conversations to be in the here and now and to give the other person your full attention – just as you wish for yourself. So listen carefully to every word, take the person seriously and ask questions. A positive side effect: This is how you build a trusting relationship that goes far beyond the usual small talk.
