Sustainable Day may sometimes recommend a product, service, travel option, website, or experience through an affiliate or referral link.
If you follow one of these links and complete a qualifying purchase or booking, Sustainable Day may receive a commission or other benefit.
This helps support the project and the work behind it.
What is an affiliate link?
An affiliate link is a special link that allows a company to recognize that a visitor came from Sustainable Day.
If you subsequently make a qualifying purchase or booking, the provider may pay Sustainable Day a commission.
In many cases, the price you pay does not increase because you used our link.
The exact commercial arrangement depends on the provider.
Does a commission influence our recommendations?
It shouldn't.
Our goal is to recommend things because they are useful, relevant, interesting, or appropriate for the situation ā not simply because they pay a commission.
We may also recommend or mention services that have no affiliate relationship with Sustainable Day.
A commission doesn't magically turn a bad option into a good one.
Travel recommendations
This is particularly relevant to Fly Sustainable Day.
Travel search and booking services may involve affiliate, referral, or commercial relationships with travel partners.
When you search for flights or accommodation, the results and offers may come from third-party providers.
Availability, price, booking conditions, and the final transaction are determined by the relevant provider.
Before completing a booking, always check the final details directly with the provider.
Why do we use affiliate relationships?
Sustainable Day is an independent project with real costs.
Affiliate commissions can help support:
Hosting and infrastructure
Software and services
Research
Development
Content creation
New tools and projects
Maintaining the Sustainable Day ecosystem
The idea is simple:
Create something useful first. Find sustainable ways to keep creating it second.
Transparency matters
We don't want commercial relationships to be hidden.
Where an affiliate or referral relationship is relevant to a recommendation, we aim to make that clear.
You should always be able to understand when Sustainable Day may benefit financially from a link or booking.
Your choice
You never have to use an affiliate link.
You are free to search for the provider directly, compare alternatives, or choose another option.
Our recommendations are there to help you make a decision ā not to make the decision for you.
What about sponsored content?
If Sustainable Day publishes sponsored or paid content, we aim to clearly identify it.
Paid promotion and editorial recommendations are not intended to be presented as the same thing.
If a commercial relationship affects how something is presented, we believe you should be able to understand that.
The simple version
We may earn commissions.
We won't hide that.
We don't believe a commission should decide what is useful.
You remain free to choose.
And if a Sustainable Day recommendation saves you time, money, or a few hundred open browser tabs, that's a pretty good outcome too. š
Stay curious. Choose thoughtfully.
