Sustainable living for the perfectly imperfect eco-warrior
When it comes to sustainability, things like public transit and avoiding unneccesary shopping are number one. But, when those options aren’t realistic (or that sale is just too good to pass up), there’s Econus.
How it works ↓
Purchases + Causes
Link the purchases you make with the causes you care about most
Live your best life
Whenever Econus recognizes that you’ve made a purchase that affects your causes, we’ll Round-Up the spare change
Automatically donate your spare change
At the end of the month, we will automatically donate your spare change to the non-profits you’ve chosen to offset your impact!
It looks like this ↓
CAUSES
1) Waste
2) Air Pollution
3) Sustainable Fashion
PURCHASES
1) Food + Shopping
2) Gas + Travel
3) Clothing
NON-PROFITS

the true cost of consumption
Our philosophy
Creating the change you want to see in the world isn’t always about you.
You can buy green. You can recycle your paper, plastics and glass. You can do everything you’re supposed to do.
But when the majority of your recycled plastics are worth more burned into the air than as a new pair of Nike Space Hippie’s (Nike’s recycled shoe) and discreet ‘green’ marketing gimmicks are rewarded for bamboozling us at the register, it’s the system that needs to change.
With a community of eco-warriors and the theory of externalities, this is how we can do it!
Environmental & Societal Impact of externalities
From climate change to healthcare, the impacts from consumption vary widely

About us
According to a 2017 study, just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of emissions worldwide.
If so few, albeit large, organizations are responsible for so much of the damage we live with today, what can an individual do to make a meaningful impact?
