Welcome to CitizenSustainable

Your trusted resource for a sustainable lifestyle and eco-friendly products.

About Us

Have you noticed that more and more products are being marketed as “eco-friendly” and “green” to appeal to the growing number of consumers trying to lead more environmentally friendly lives?

As a result, finding out which products and choices are truly the best for our environment is often difficult or even overwhelming – especially with lots of biased, inaccurate or misleading information out there.

That’s why Citizensustainable.com was founded in 2018.

Our research-based and fact-checked articles help our readers make smarter and more informed decisions every day.

Over the years we have become one of the most trusted sources for accurate information on sustainability and green living, cited by some of the biggest and most reputable names (see who here).

Faced with the worsening climate crisis, many people are starting to make more conscious decisions in all aspects of their lives and to look for alternatives to our polluting lifestyle.

Our goal is to offer you the most reliable, fact-based and clear information about sustainability to help you lead a greener life and stay informed.
