Pulse: the daily heartbeat of sustainable Portugal

Pulse, our daily read on what is happening in sustainable Portugal.

A lot happens in sustainable Portugal on any given day, and most of it never reaches a wide audience. Many stories are out there, but they are scattered across dozens of outlets and many of them appear only in Portuguese.

Pulse is the Sustainable Living answer to that. It is a short daily summary of what is going on across the country, covering nature, energy, farming, water, housing and circular economy.

Each morning it gathers the day’s stories into one place with a sentence or two on each subject and a link to the original report, so you can read further if something catches your interest. It comes in English and Portuguese and is free to read.

The items are sorted by theme, so you have a quick overview. And every item is also tagged by region, so you can follow what is happening where you live.

The thinking behind Pulse is the same as behind the rest of the platform. There is more going on in sustainable Portugal than most people realise, and it is easier to take part once you can see it.

The name Pulse is a way of saying that living sustainably is a living, breathing thing, like the earth itself. It needs our care. And because we’re all interconnected, the ripples of what we do reach everyone, good or bad. Pulse is how we keep an eye on that, together. People want to contribute and we like to show the different ways they already do.
