We recommend that you choose to share the declaration below to social media, to maximise your impact and your chance of success:
This indicates the number of people like you in the EcoTracker community who have taken this step.
Post this graphic to share your commitment with your network on your “personal eco-progress story” thread that you have previously made on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Whatsapp etc. If you have not done this already, start your “personal eco-progress story” thread on your preferred platform. Read our guide to using social media, which is particularly aimed at social media novices or reluctant / infrequent users.
To maximise the benefit to the community it is recommended that you use Facebook to share your “personal eco-progress-story”. Click or tap here to reveal the key steps to follow for sharing:
- Join the EcoTracker Community Facebook group if you have not done so already.
- Post your commitment on your Facebook timeline, as part of your “personal eco-progress-story”.
- To maximise the benefit of your post to others ideally include:
- the above EcoTracker graphic.
- you can share this to Facebook via the sharing link above. Select “Share to News Feed or Story” from the drop-down menu at the top and tick “News Feed” and “Your Story” at the bottom before completing your post.
- Alternatively save the graphic to a relevant folder on your device before posting by:
- with a computer and mouse, clicking your mouse right-side button and selecting “save image as” or equivalent.
- with a phone or tablet, tap and hold on the graphic, then select “download”, “save image” or equivalent.
- Next open Facebook, create a new post and upload the graphic from your device to your Facebook post.
- You will need to use this approach if you want to also include a photo in your post (see below) or more than one graphic. One further benefit is you will have a record of your journey on your device as well as on your “Progress thread”.
- a photo to illustrate your commitment.
- how this makes you feel
- if you have a plan already, a brief description of what you plan to do and any learning points that might be useful to others. Keep it positive. If you have encountered challenges we suggest focusing on how you overcame them, rather than simply sharing problems.
- the above EcoTracker graphic.
- The more fun, personalised and engaging your post the better!
- If you prefer not to post EcoTracker graphics, we would be grateful if you could reference EcoTracker in your post so that others might be inspired to start their EcoTracker journey too.
- To maximise the benefit of your post to others ideally include:
- Share your commitment with the EcoTracker Community Facebook group.
- Click “Share” on your timeline post, then “Share to Group” and then type or select “EcoTracker Community” before finalising and sharing your post.
- You may feel more comfortable posting directly to the nurturing community of like-minded people that is the EcoTracker Community Facebook group, rather than on your timeline.
- Do be aware that it is a public group, and posts will be visible to those outside of the group, however, posts and comments in the group will be moderated to filter out inappropriate content and ensure this remains a welcoming, safe and supportive environment.
- If you prefer this option, you could post directly on the EcoTracker Community Facebook group, or if sharing EcoTracker graphics via the sharing links above select “Share to Group” from the drop-down menu at the top and “EcoTracker Community” before finalising and sharing your post.
Alternatively, you may prefer to post to other social media such as Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc or to create a private group with family and friends to support you e.g. on Whatsapp. For these options, click or tap here to reveal the key steps to follow for sharing your “personal eco-progress-story”:

The most important thing is that you do share your “personal eco-progress-story“ with others.
If you return to post on the same platform and thread each time, all of your progress will be in one place and it will be easy for others to see and engage with your journey.
By sharing your “personal eco-progress-story” with others, you and others are much more likely to be inspired and motivated to complete further actions. Participate in the EcoTracker Community.
If you would like to commit to completing another Action, visit the Actions page to select this. To maximise your impact, we recommend that you only share your commitment to progressing a Top-Action when you are ready to start progressing it rather than, say, committing to completing all the Top-Actions in one go:
- Focus on progressing a small number of Top Actions or sub-actions at any one time – even just one at a time
- Be clear about specifically what you have committed to progressing in the short term so that you can track your progress and maintain momentum.
- Avoid being overwhelmed
- Spreading out your public commitments on social media over time and aligning these with your progress will give more people a chance to see your commitments and progress; this will enable you to inspire more people and give them a chance to respond to your posts which may in turn help support you. If you post a commitment but then do not start to make any progress for longer time, the online story of your journey will become disjointed which will be more difficult for people to follow and support.
Once you’ve made your commitment, there’s no time like the present to progress the Buy fewer products (re-use and repair) Top Action; put aside some time for this and follow EcoTracker’s Step-by-step guidance.
