Exhibition «Es +: Vivir mejor con menos»

From reflection to action: The route begins with the illustrated fable “El rey de casi todo”, a tale aimed at both children and adults that shows the consequences of hoarding natural resources without limit. Building on this lesson, the exhibition presents sustainability as a staircase climbed one step at a time, supported by three essential pillars: efficiency (making better use of every resource), sufficiency (consuming only what is necessary) and shared commitment.

More sustainable rooms: The exhibition moves through the everyday spaces of the home—the kitchen, the bathroom and the living room—to offer simple, direct solutions: from avoiding food waste and recycling correctly to turning off the tap in time, choosing showers over baths, or eliminating the phantom consumption of electronic devices. It also dedicates a section to low-cost “pequeños artilugios” (LED bulbs, tap aerators or power strips with switches) that multiply savings on household bills.

Conscious consumption and toxin-free cleaning: Other panels invite us to rethink our shopping basket by choosing local, seasonal products without superfluous packaging, and to replace aggressive chemical products with eco-friendly cleaning alternatives that are safe for health and the environment.

Clean mobility and collective participation: The final section addresses the impact of private vehicles and proposes healthy alternatives such as walking, cycling, using public transport or carpooling. The exhibition concludes by showing the national reach of the Hogares Verdes network and encouraging families to join this initiative under a very clear motto: “Antes de cambiar el mundo, da tres vueltas por tu casa”.
