Why Terry? Making Everyday Purchases Count
We all know it: the planet is under pressure. Forests are disappearing, oceans are heating up, biodiversity is in steep decline. And one of the driving forces behind these crises is also one of the hardest to escape: the way we consume.
Shopping as usual isn’t cutting it anymore. But here’s the thing: doing better shouldn’t be hard.
That’s where Terry comes in.
Terry is a free tool that makes it easy to turn your everyday purchases into real climate action.
No guilt-tripping.
No complicated steps.
Just simple, positive impact built into the way you already shop.
Whether you’re ordering dinner on Thuisbezorgd, buying new socks at HEMA, or upgrading your laptop at Coolblue: when you do it through Terry, you’re helping restore the planet.
How it works
When you shop through Terry (via our app or browser extensions for Chrome and Edge; Safari and Firefox coming soon), we earn a commission from the brand. Here’s the twist:
🌍 50% goes directly to climate action projects: planting trees, restoring oceans, protecting biodiversity, and more.
💚 The other 50% keeps Terry running so we can grow, improve, and reach more people.
It costs you nothing extra. But it changes everything.
Not about buying more
Here’s what makes Terry different:
We’re not here to encourage you to shop more. In fact, we believe mindful consumption, buying only what you truly need, is one of the most powerful ways to change the system.
That’s why Terry works best when you make the purchases you really need. The difference? Now they also fund ecosystem restoration, regenerative agriculture, and social impact initiatives.
A collective force for change
When one person plants 10 trees through a Coolblue purchase, that’s powerful.
When 10,000 people do it together, it’s transformational.
That’s the vision behind Terry: turning individual actions into collective impact.
Why Terry?
Because protecting nature should be as easy as shopping online.
✨ Shop better. Use Terry.
