Quickly let us know if we missed a business here. As a startup, we may still be populating the businesses in your location. Thank you for your continued support!

Yes! Our app is available for global use! Use it at home or while you travel to help make sustainable living easy and convenient for you!

If you nominate a business, then we consider you a Community Eco-Ambassador.

An unverified ‘Community Eco Ambassador” listing appears in our app as soon as you submit it. We send an email to the business notifying them that they have been nominated and who nominated them (if you provide your instagram handle) just to give them the opportunity to DM you to thank you if they wish. The listing itself only shows the business name, address and your reason for nominating the business. Your Instagram handle DOES NOT appear publicly.

We suggest that when nominating, you mention exactly what you love about the business by mentioning any favourite products, menu items or exactly what business ethics related to sustainability other app users might appreciate.

Nope! The Sustainable Life App is and will continue to be, a free directory for our users.

You can download our app on both the App Store and Google Play.

Our app is a map-based business and brand directory. You can adjust the filters and settings for your search at any time.

To learn more, you can click on the settings button in the app to view our how-to videos.

Our search feature is connected to a Google Maps interface. Literally every word featured in listings is connected to our app’s search feature! So if you are looking to buy some corn from a local farmer, you just type corn in the search feature and voila! Cool, right?

For this reason we encourage you to search any sustainable brands that you love using our search feature. The online shopping section is great (especially the coupon codes you get) but to reduce your environmental impact further (caused from shipping), we encourage you to support local brick and mortar style sustainable businesses that sell sustainable brands.

You can also adjust how you want to view businesses (alphabetical order, closest to farthest, and even adjust distance in kilometers + miles: anywhere from 1km/mile away to 160km/100miles! It’s amazing! Some sections such as Hotel/Eco-Travel, Event Venues, etc. even have a search by country feature!

Sustainable Businesses are considered brick and mortar locations that you can find in your city and/or specific businesses who offer delivery and/or online services to local residents.

You can find these in the following sections of our app:
- Retail Shops/Boutiques
- Cafes/Restaurants
- Grocery/Farms
- Salons/Spas
- Hotels/Eco-Travel
- Event Venues
- Eco Service Providers

Sustainable Brands can be found in the online shopping section of our app or by typing them into the search feature under one of the shop local sections above. A Sustainable Brand to us = brands who ethically manufacture their own products and are verified by us.

We asses all brands on our app’s 5 Factors for Sustainable Consumption™ (Impact on Human Health, Environmental Impact, Respect for Human Rights, respect for Animal Rights, Socio-Economic Advantage) based on how:

a) Transparent they are.
b) Their shipping practices.
c) Whether their brand has practices that supports a circular economy.

The mission of our app is to make Sustainable Living Easy and Convenient for our app’s users!

We are constantly growing and innovating - stay tuned and check our app regularly to see how we grow.

We believe our collective human problem is: “I am busy. How the heck can I consume sustainably?”

Our solution to this problem is: Use Sustainable Life App! We exist to help make Sustainable Living Easy and Convenient FOR YOU! You can use our app at home or while to travel to live a life in-line with your core values.

Stay tuned! We have a lot of exciting new features coming your way soon too!

You heard right! We are a non-judgmental community and want to help users slowly and steadily get to a place in our existence in which sustainable consumption is the new forever norm! We know it’s a big hairy audacious goal, but we have full faith that we’ll get there!

Example users:
#1: Vegan but still occasionally buys fast fashion products and occasionally forgets their reusable shopping bag at home
#2: Living a almostly perfect plastic free lifestyle but still consumes non-vegan food that is clean-ish, BUT supports local whenever possible!
#3: Hunts their own game but does not support factory farming and is trying to lesson their plastic use and slowly exploring local zero waste/refill stores to learn more.

See what we mean? Our belief is that no one is perfect but so long as we are all making efforts live a more sustainable life, there will naturally be positive global ripple effects. As consumers put more focus on sustainable products and practices, successful businesses will naturally sell more ethically made, clean, non-toxic and quality products!

With regards to businesses on our app, we ask our app users to be open minded about the sustainability efforts of every business listed on this platform. We also ask consumers to acknowledge that so long as we each do our own part (no matter how big or small), we are deserving of being a part of this community.

Our app is available for global use and includes community eco ambassador nominations. We can verify the sustainable brands that we approve on our platform but with regards to brick and mortar businesses, please remember to do your own research as consumers!

If you have any concerns about businesses on the app, report the listing to and and our team will contact the listing holder to inquire further.

Our app’s founder is M (Mangla) Bansal, a TV Producer/Director turned tech entrepreneur. It all started when M was filming a documentary in India about child labour in 2006. While filming, M met Sumedha Kailash (the wife of Nobel Peace Prize winner Kailash Satyarthi). During dinner one evening, Sumedha said to M (we are translating Hindi to English), “The corrupt people of the world are SO WELL organized. They have their systems down to a T. Why are the good people not as organized? Why isn’t there anything out there to connect the good people?”

M consistently thought about her words every few years and it wasn’t until she decided to go back to finish making the documentary that she had started that she created the 5 Factors for Sustainable Consumption™.

M’s original goal was to create a documentary series about the 5 factors, but she knew that although documentaries can inspire change they don’t quite bring REAL measurable change. It was at that moment that she created the Sustainable Life App™ and as they say, the rest is history.
