Black Friday becomes Blue Friday for us. We believe in a digital and mobile world that needs to be sustainable. Black Friday therefore does not fit our philosophy. Thus, we do not remain idle, but donate a contribution to a water project for every device sold. You can now shop with a clear conscience on Black Friday and Cyber Monday which is more sustainable and cheaper with us.
For some time now, Black Friday has been spoken about widely in Swizterland, too. Many people rely on it to buy new consumer goods, many of which are not necessary. We at recommerce.ch stand up for sustainable consumption (by giving devices another life, as well as repairing them) and we don't want to support this kind of consumerism. In order to not just stand idly by, we are actively campaigning for this change/shift and have decided to go in a different way.
We do not offer Black Friday or Cyber Monday discounts. Instead, we donate CHF 10 for every device sold to the sustainable water aid project VIVA CON AGUA. This project is supported by various companies.
Water is important for every living creature and we have to use it sparingly. Even the production of cell phones is not possible without using water. Did you know that every cell phone that doesn't need to be produced, will save around 1,300 litres of water?That is the equivalent of about 8 bathtubs of water.
That's why we decided to cooperate with VIVA CON AGUA and support their interesting projects with these donations. The Blue Friday project is all about drinking water supply and hygiene improvement in South Africa.
All people have a right to water, sanitation and hygiene. The donations from the Blue Friday project will flow into the project in South Africa. Firstly, VIVA CON AGUA supports rural projects within which sanitary facilities are built for schools, while also ensure their drinking water supply and carry out hygiene educational workshops. Secondly, there is an urban project with the WASH bus. We want to enable homeless people in Cape Town to live in dignity by providing a mobile WASH facility. The WASH bus is a mobile bus where people can go to the toilet as well as wash themselves. This bus travels through different areas in Cape Town daily, providing homeless people with the opportunity to meet their hygiene needs. More about the project. (DE)
We have been a partner of VIVA CON AGUA for some time now. With positive activism they go new ways as an all-profit organization, which convinced us. We share common values and also go ahead with joy. That's why we are happy to team up with each other on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But let's best let VIVA CON AGUA introduce itself.
