TikTokers aren’t just young, fashionable and good at lip-synching and skits. More and more users of the social media platform are on a campaign to save the world. Originally called music.ly and used for sharing user-generated music videos, the platform is now popular with people sharing sustainability tips, promoting veganism and talking about their concerns for the future of the planet. TikTok now has about 850 million active users.
Eco-themed hashtags like “moss”, “biodiversity”, “zero waste” and “sustainable fashion” have gained millions of views. With so many channels and hashtags on the TikTok app, it can be hard to sift through the noise to find the eco-friendly content. Here are a few of our favorite environmental TikTok channels to keep on your radar.

eco_tok
The environmental collective EcoTok has become very popular on TikTok. EcoTok was co-founded by 27-year-old Philip Aiken, whose special interest is soil restoration. During lockdown he started the collective with other young creators. “I see it as like planting seeds, and hopefully that germinates and that person wants to learn more,” Aiken said. His fans constantly message him about sustainability and gardening. Aiken is U.S.-based but earned a master’s degree in renewable energy in New Zealand. “It’s been cool being able to influence the younger generation in that way,” Aiken said.
