In-Depth Review
Your month-by-month guide to greener renting
Renters' Almanac 2025 is more than a planner—it’s a tool for navigating the unique sustainability challenges of rental living. From dealing with drafty windows to convincing your landlord to allow a compost bin, this almanac gives you scripts, checklists, and a full moon garden calendar.
What makes it ethical
- Undated layout—you can start any month and skip pages, reducing waste
- Spiral-bound so it lies flat on your tiny desk
- Monthly eco-challenges: e.g., 'negotiate a green clause' or 'DIY draught excluder'
- Plant-care calendar for low-light, pet-safe apartment plants
- 1% for the Planet donations to Mieterverein (German tenants association) and similar orgs
Designed for urban renters: The almanac includes a 'rental repair log' to track maintenance requests, a 'move-out checklist' for reusing packing materials, and a 'landlord contact tracker'—all printed on 100% post-consumer waste paper.
Specs & availability
Available in German and English editions. The English edition is sold via Amazon US and the brand's eco-shop. A cult favorite on Reddit r/sustainability and r/ApartmentHacks in late 2024.
