"I dream of creating a generation of eco-responsible travellers".

The article in a nutshell

Because current events are all too often anxiety-provoking,

And because the environmental cause deserves to be sublimated by positive speeches.

We've come up with "Les Tribunes positives". Each month, an author will share his or her utopia, borrowing the famous phrase of a great "hopeful", Martin Luther King.

In March, we give the floor to Maëva Courtois, co-founder ofHélios, France's first eco-bank.

Summary

Responsible consumption is a concern at the heart of our daily lives: more than 3 out of 4 French people say they are committed to responsible consumption.

However, in reality, its progress remains insufficient. Why is this? This commitment is hampered by the prices, higher than average, of its sustainable alternatives. In fact, 78% of French people cite price as the main brake on responsible consumption, according to the Poll&Roll survey carried out by helios on responsible consumption in 2023.

*Faced with this observation, helios decided to bring together within the *Tous Consom'acteurs !* program a community of entrepreneurs, retailers and producers, committed to accessible responsible and local consumption. This movement gives everyone the opportunity to discover and support committed local businesses, while enjoying exceptional discounts on every purchase with the helios bank card. Joining this coalition of change-makers means overcoming the dilemma between "the end of the world and the end of the month", taking action for your health and that of the planet, without breaking the bank. *

*The collectiveTous Consom'acteurs!* is also an ally for your travels and your vacations, an opportunity for each and every one of us to become enlightened, eco-responsible travelers and tourists! *
