My story
Almost two years ago I stopped buying any new clothes.
I became aware of the impact of fast fashion, and once I’d overcome the brainwashing and boycotted my favourite and most visited high street shops, my awareness spread to everything else we are sold and marketed.
Since then I’ve been educating myself on the climate crisis and the factors that we have control over as individuals.
I created need less as a place to learn, connect and inspire achievable daily actions that we can all be taking that actually make a difference.

Start learning
Educating yourself on the climate crisis and the solutions helps us to feel informed and empowered, especially when we are inevitably faced with questions about our actions and intentions.
I’ve put together some resources that I’ve found useful, including online courses, videos, articles, books, tv and movies.
I’m also sharing the things I am learning on my journey over on TikTok, Instagram and my Spotify Podcast We Need Less.
Follow along, say hi and please let me know about any other interesting sources you’ve loved, or things you’ve learned.
Hi, I’m Danielle - founder of need less, a place for climate action, inspiration, connection and community.
Thanks for being here!
I believe in doing my bit to make a difference to the planet and teaching my children to be kind and thoughtful to the Earth and all living things on it.
I’m on a mission to build a community of people who want to learn more about climate actions we can all be taking to make the world a healthier, diverse, more beautiful and peaceful place to live.
Two years ago I stopped buying any new clothes. It was a long time coming and once I did I knew I’d never go back to my old ways.
It opened my eyes to the bigger picture of over consumption, pollution, climate inequality and how the changes we make as individuals have an impact and influence others.
You can read more about my personal story here. But I want to know about yours, too!
need less is about all of our individual actions. And what we can achieve as a community. It’s a space for us to share what we are learning and the actions we are taking, ask questions, make friendships and be inspired and motivated by each other to do more.
It’s for those of us who admire activists, environmentalists, climate champions and advocates, while feeling like we are not informed, confident or eloquent enough on the issues (yet) to see ourselves as one of them. It’s a place for confidence building and understanding that what you DO matters.
So if you want to make a positive impact to the planet and the people on it, and connect with like minded people, you’re in the right place.
I’m excited and grateful you’re here with me.
