COMMON HOME
COMMON PURPOSE
We’re a small, passionate team empowering people to confidently make financial choices that are better for us, our communities, and the planet.
OUR VALUES
01.
PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION
Everyone’s sustainability journey has its own pace, priorities, and constraints. Commons meets people where they’re at.
02.
HARNESS COLLECTIVE POWER
We reject the idea of “not my problem.” Through collective action, we change the world by being willing to change ourselves.
03.
COMMUNICATE THE ESSENCE
When we know better, we can do better. Commons distills information to make the best choice the easy choice.
04.
MEET THE MOMENT
The climate crisis moves fast, and so do we. We take big bets, for big collective impact.
05.
LIVE LIGHTER
We believe a sustainable life is a happier, healthier, wealthier, fulfilled, and more connected life.
UNLEASHING OUR INFLUENCE
I founded Commons to empower people to make financial choices that are better for us and the planet.
The consumer industry is driving overconsumption. It’s inundating us with thousands of ads a day – for things that don’t actually improve our lives.
That’s why we created Commons. We don’t accept that endless consumerism is inevitable. It’s draining our wallets and our planet.

“Our relationship with money is broken. Our money isn’t making us happy or prosperous. Commons allows us to reclaim the power of our choices.”
We’re building a different way. A path to abundance where we live with fewer, higher-quality things. Where we reuse and repair what we have, and share with our communities.
Every day, we make over 9 billion transactions. Together, our financial choices matter and they shape companies’ choices. Not only that, our purchases influence over 60% of global emissions.
I started tracking my expenses and emissions in a spreadsheet 10 years ago because I couldn’t find any good tools to help me align my choices with the world I wanted to live in.
I founded Commons to make this easy for anyone. Join me and hundreds of thousands of people using the Commons app to make purchases that are better for us and the planet.
Real power comes from community.
