1. Forget flat-pack furniture
Whilst Ikea is a wonderful company for climate goals, it’s still best to skip flat-pack furniture isles and head instead to your local charity shop, antiques market, or car boot sales. There are also lots of websites like freecycle or Vinterior. Not only will you be giving pre-loved items a second lease of life, but you’ll also be avoiding the ge carbon footprint involved in producing and shipping furniture. Often, older furniture is better made and has more character too, so you’ll be investing in a solid piece that you can admire for years.
