At SustainableLifestyle, I believe in being straightforward with readers about how this website may earn money.
I’m Stephen McCoy, the founder of SustainableLifestyle. Some of the links on this website may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you click a link and make a purchase or take another qualifying action.
This comes at no additional cost to you. In some cases, using an affiliate link may even give you access to the same price, offer, or promotion that is available directly from the company.
Why Affiliate Links Are Used
Running a website takes time and resources. Affiliate commissions can help support SustainableLifestyle and cover some of the costs involved in researching, writing, maintaining, and improving the site.
This allows me to continue creating free content for readers.
My Approach to Recommendations
I don't believe in recommending something simply because it has an affiliate program.
When I write about products, services, or other resources, my aim is to provide information that I believe will be useful to readers. I consider things such as practicality, quality, sustainability claims, usefulness, price, and the information available about a product or company.
However, you should always do your own research before purchasing a product or using a service, particularly when environmental claims or product specifications are important to your decision.
An affiliate relationship does not mean that I guarantee a product will meet your expectations or that it is the right choice for everyone.
How Affiliate Links Work
If you click an affiliate link on SustainableLifestyle and subsequently make a qualifying purchase or complete another qualifying action, the company or affiliate network may pay me a commission.
The price you pay is generally not increased because you used my affiliate link.
Affiliate programs may use cookies or similar technologies to recognize that a visitor arrived through an affiliate link. The exact tracking period and terms depend on the particular affiliate program.
Transparency Matters
I want readers to know when a financial relationship may exist.
Affiliate relationships will not change my responsibility to provide information that is useful and honest. I will not knowingly make false claims about a product simply because it provides an opportunity to earn a commission.
At the same time, no article should be interpreted as a guarantee, and opinions expressed on SustainableLifestyle remain my own unless clearly stated otherwise.
Third-Party Companies
When I link to a third-party company, product, or service, that does not necessarily mean that I have a formal partnership with that company.
Some links may be ordinary links with no financial relationship attached, while others may be affiliate links.
Product prices, availability, specifications, offers, ingredients, materials, and other details can change. Always check the current information provided by the manufacturer, retailer, or service provider before making a purchase.

If you have any questions about affiliate links or a particular recommendation on SustainableLifestyle, you are welcome to contact me.
