At the recent UN80 event, South African entrepreneur Sibongile Swakamisa unveiled her manifesto on green consumption, calling for a global shift toward sustainable development. As the founder of skincare brand MomCareCo, she emphasized the role of both individuals and businesses in driving eco-conscious change.
"Over the next five years, helping people understand the meaning of sustainable development and fostering eco-conscious mindsets will be crucial," Swakamisa told an audience of young leaders and changemakers.
Swakamisa's manifesto highlights how everyday choices – from the products we buy to the habits we form – can shape a greener future. By embracing green consumption, she argues, communities can unlock long-term benefits for the environment and future generations.
Her call to action resonates across industries and geographies. For entrepreneurs plotting their next venture, tech enthusiasts seeking impactful innovations, and travelers exploring new cultures, Swakamisa's green-consumption vision offers a roadmap for meaningful impact.
