Your
favorite drink says more about you than you think. From coffee lovers
to wine enthusiasts, here's what your go-to beverage reveals about your
personality.
COFFEE
You're driven, focused, and always on the move. Coffee drinkers value productivity and routine - even if stress tags along.
TEA
calm, thoughtful, and comfort-oriented. Tea lovers enjoy balance, rituals, and quiet moments.
SODA
Fun-loving and rebellious. You choose pleasure over trends and enjoy life unapologetically.
WINE
Reflective and social. Wine drinkers appreciate conversation, culture, and relaxation.
WATER
Health-conscious and disciplined. You prioritize long-term well-being and adopt smart habits.
Consumption
shapes our everyday lives - and thus also the environment. Every
product has a story that usually begins long before it is purchased. rwa
materials are extracted, processed, transported, used, and eventually
disposed of.
This cycle costs energy and causes greenhouse gases. Especially in
wealthy countries like Switzerland, the ecological footprint is high due
to the prevailing lifestyle. But we have room to maneuver by focusing
on quality, durability and creative alternatives. In this way, we can
increase our own well-being and protect nature at the same time.
Sustainable
consumption also means thinking about the consequences of our
purchasing decisions. This is what the term sufficiency stands for, it's
about reducing material and energy consumption. The questions "What do I
really need?" and "How much is enough?" guide us in everyday life to
manage with less strain on the environment and climate without
sacrificing quality of life.
The ecological effects are clear
A
cotton T-shirt contains as much CO as a 40 km car journey. around 7 kg.
This includes not only the material and the production of the garment,
but also transport, packaging, washing during use, and disposal - in
other words, the entire life cycle of the product. A new sofa thus
causes over 100kg of CO2 – if a used one is used, this value drops by up
to 90%. Repairing household appliances reduces the CO2 footprint by an
average of one-third compared to buying new.
And there are many more examples!
More mindful consumption brings joy
Less
clutter thanks to careful consumption creates freedom, saves money,
time, and space. Sharing, swapping, or renting also promotes social
values such as community and solidarity. Many things are easy to
implement. for example, by buying clothes, furniture, and other items of
high, durable quality, or repairing (or having repaired) things and
thus extending their lifespan. Instead of constantly buying new things,
we can use secondhand options, share, or swap items. Those who do buy
new should choose consciously. Environment and social labels, as well as
durable, regional products, reduce packaging waste, support local
businesses, and make the purchase truly worthwhile.

The personal contribution counts:
Even
small decisions in everyday life add up to a big impact and help us
live within planetary boundaries. A conscious lifestyle by many
individuals protects the climate, conserves resources, and
simultaneously increases our well-being.
