The Power You Didn’t Know You Had: Turning Everyday Shopping into Real Climate Action

A recent global study published in Nature Climate Change found that over 80% of the global population supports stronger climate action. Another survey by the United Nations, The People’s Climate Vote 2024, shows a similar trend: from Brazil to Bangladesh, people want real solutions to the climate crisis. Most recently, the Guardian reported on The 89% Project, highlighting that 89% of the world’s population believes climate change is happening and a majority want urgent action.
But here’s the catch: people don’t know where to start.
We hear it all the time:
“I care. But what can I actually do?”
“I’m just one person. Will it even matter?”
This is where we believe a shift in mindset, and action, is possible.
The Power You Already Have
We all consume. And while consuming less is one of the most powerful things we can do for the planet, it's not always realistic.
But consuming better? That’s something millions of us can do, right now.
Where and how you spend your money matters. It shapes industries. It funds systems. It builds futures. So what if we could redirect the power of those everyday transactions to fight climate change?
Terry: From Purchases to Planetary Impact
That’s what we're building at Terry.
We are creating a platform that makes climate action simple, automatic, and part of something you already do: shop for the things you need.
Here’s how it works:
Choose your mission – biodiversity, reforestation, ocean health, regenerative farming: you decide.
Shop via Terry – browse hundreds of brands from our app, just like you normally would.
Create impact – the brand pays us a commission, and we send a portion of that to your chosen mission.
You pay nothing extra. You just made a purchase that also supports the planet.
That’s consumer power at work.
Why Now?
There’s a massive gap between intention and action. The global majority is worried, aware, and ready, but the system often fails to show them how to help.
The latest Guardian article captures it well:
“Millions want to act. But they don’t know how.”
Terry bridges that gap: turning a small act you already do into something powerful and climate-positive. A quiet, everyday revolution, built into your habits.
A New Way to Think About Buying
We’re not here to celebrate endless consumption.
In fact, at Terry, we strongly believe that we need to consume less, much less.
But when consumption is necessary?
We should consume better.
That’s where Terry fits in. We don’t ask you to change everything about your lifestyle. We just make the change that is possible accessible, meaningful, and measurable.
Because protecting nature should be as easy as shopping online.
Make Every Purchase Count
If 89% of the world is ready, then it’s time to give them tools that work.
Terry is one of those tools.
Small steps, multiplied across thousands of people, lead to real results.
So next time you’re shopping, ask: Can this do more than just arrive at my door?
With Terry, it can.
