12 Content Ideas to Promote Your Sustainability Efforts Without Sounding Like a Sales Pitch
A quick, easy guide to evergreen content you can post for maximum engagement
You want to shout about your sustainability efforts—but you don’t want to sound like you’re greenwashing or bragging.
The key is storytelling, not selling.
Here are 12 authentic content ideas that help you share your impact in ways your audience will actually care about.
1. Before-and-after project visuals
Show a polluted beach pre-cleanup vs. post-Ecodrive plastic removal. Photos > stats.
2. Milestone posts
“We just hit 100,000 trees planted thanks to you.” Let customers celebrate with you.
3. Founder story videos
Share why you care. People follow people, not just brands.
4. Behind-the-scenes of sustainability changes
Switching packaging? Visiting a kelp site? Film it.
5. User-generated impact content
Ask customers to share what the mission means to them.
6. Partner spotlights
Highlight NGOs or reforestation partners doing the work. Credibility matters.
7. Global awareness dates
Anchor content around Earth Day, Plastic Free July, World Oceans Day.
8. Short explainer reels
“What is kelp restoration, and why does it matter?” Get educational.
9. Interactive quizzes or polls
Let customers vote on your next impact project or test their sustainability knowledge.
10. Impact counters on your site
“Together we’ve planted 124,391 trees” builds social proof.
11. Email drip series tracking personal impact
Send monthly summaries: “You removed 3 lbs of plastic this month!”
12. Sustainable lifestyle tips (without selling your product)
Build value even when there’s no CTA. That earns trust.
Pro tip: The less you focus on what you're selling, the more customers believe in what you stand for. And that's what drives real brand loyalty.
