We cooperate with Opcions to facilitate conscious consumption

A Sostre Cívic we highlight the mutual cooperation and its immense potential as one of our main values, and we bet on networking to achieve joint goals. This is why we work together with other entities in the social and solidarity economy, to learn and grow together!

Along these lines, we have become part ofOpcions as a partner company and we want to explain the reasons and the advantages you can have thanks to this collaboration. Don't miss all the details!

Conscious consumption for social transformation

Live better with less? Consume less to be happier? Conscious consumption suggests we adopt consumption habits and lifestyles that help us improve, here and now, both our health and quality of life and that of our environment (socio-economic, environmental, cultural). While conscious consumption is only one of the many ingredients needed for broader social change, it is also true that, when done collectively, this proposition multiplies its potential for social transformation!

A Sostre Cívic we are committed to transformative cooperative housing to improve the lives of the people who live there and their environment, and this includes conscious consumption as one of the basic lines to take into account. We understand housing as a good for use and not for investment, and we promote it more sustainable and communal ways of life, with spaces to share resources and experiences and where you work with another logic of consumption. 

But... what is it? Opcions?

Opcions is a non-profit cooperative that works to spread and make easy another way of consuming, more ethical with people, the community and the environment. With this aim, they develop consulting, research and training projects; and make it easier for the public to contract the services of companies, cooperatives and entities of the social and solidarity economy.

With Opcions we share values ​​and the desire to transform society through individual and collective changes, and that is why it has been a year since we are part of it as a partner company. In addition, we both also agree on other spaces of inter-cooperation, such as ECOS group or Circle of Consumption of Coòpolis.
