  • Planting mangrove trees

    For every member of World Saving Hustle, we plant 5 mangrove trees. In collaboration with Miljøfestivalen, we also ran a special campaign and planted an additional 5,080 trees. So far, we’ve planted an impressive total of 13,600 trees! Want to make an impact? Join us as a memberand help spread the word—we’ll keep planting 5 trees for every new member! 🌱 Our tree-planting efforts are powered by Only One and through Eden Reforestation Projects.

  • SDG workshops

    We offer workshops focused on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), designed to inspire and empower young people to take action for a more sustainable future. This project is made possible with support from "Bærekraftsstøtta", a grant provided by the Norwegian Children and Youth Council (Landsrådet for Norges barne- og ungdomsorganisasjoner, LNU).

    Interested in hosting a workshop? Reach out to us—we’d love to visit your school, organization, or event and explore the SDGs together!

  • Intercultural sustainability

    We host intercultural events for sustainability, bringing people together through lectures, workshops, clean-up campaigns, and shared meals. These events focus on promoting inclusion, diversity, and sustainability, creating a space where people from all backgrounds can connect and collaborate.

    This project is partially funded by The Directorate of Integration and Diversity (IMDi), supporting our mission to build a more inclusive and sustainable community.

  • Stop Whaling

    Norway is one of only three countries in the world still practicing commercial whaling, despite most nations banning it. Our goal at World Saving Hustle is clear: to end whaling in Norway.

    In collaboration with Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), we raise awareness, gather support through petitions, and mobilize activists to protect these incredible creatures.

    Take action—sign and share the petition or get involved in the project. Together, we can stop Norwegian whaling.

  • Deep sea mining

    As one of the first countries in the world, the Norwegian government has decided to open our vulnerable deep seas to mining. The decision has been taken without us knowing enough about the consequences for life in the sea. Read more here.

  • REALITY

    Street activism held by local chapters, where we focus on the reality of different world issues. Most of the time it is focused on the reality of farmed animals, but also the reality of fast fashion and other cause areas.

  • OCEAN CLEAN-UPS

    Multiple local chapters have ocean clean-ups as one of their activities. To clean an area of marine pollution is good for nature, animals and humans. You get to do a little good for the local ecosystem and at the same time connect with fellow like-minded people.

  • virtual activism calls

    Through over 40 virtual sessions, we've welcomed WSH volunteers and inspiring guest speakers to share valuable insights on critical issues—from environmentalism to animal rights and human rights. Each session deepens our commitment to learning, advocacy, and action.

    The conference is aiming to bring together people and organisations who work within environmentalism, animal rights and human rights. Held last in April 2024. Next one in he planning phase.

  • #plukkenpose

    A campaign which in English would be #pickabag, meaning to pick a bag of trash. Thousands of bags of trash have been filled up since we started the project and it’s helping keeping nature clean a little here and there. Better for nature, animals and humans. Want to join? Pick a bag of trash in your area and feel free to post on social media to inspire others with #plukkenpose.

  • Self Care

    Self care

    It’s in our organisational culture to take care of ourselves and each other, therefore we arrange a lot of self care type events which is focused on community building, workshops, cabin trips, sauna and cold baths, hikes and other events focus on taking care of volunteers in World Saving Hustle. Have a new self care event idea? Let us know!

  • Sanctuary volunteering

    We have volunteer days or so called “dugnads” at all of the animal sanctuaries in Norway. An animal sanctuary is a place where animals are brought to live and to be protected for the rest of their lives. We do these volunteer days both to help the animals and the people running the sanctuaries, and it’s also an amazing way to practise self care for activists as well.

  • Talks and workshops

    We host several talks and workshops for schools, universities, companies, at festivals and more. Topics can be broad within environmentalism, animal rights and human rights. Feel free to contact us if you want a visit from somebody from WSH.

  • ICAN Partner

    The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) is a coalition of organizations worldwide that promotes the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. The campaign includes over 500 organizations in more than 100 countries. The partners in ICAN range from peace organizations, labor unions, and youth parties to financial institutions.

  • climate emergency

    In 2019, we launched a national campaign to urge local authorities across Norway to declare a climate emergency. With petitions in all 18 counties and the support of thousands of Norwegians, we made our voices heard. As a result, several counties officially declared a climate emergency, marking a collective commitment to confront the climate crisis.

  • Political debates

    We've hosted a range of political debates on pressing topics such as the troubling pig industry, the complexities of marine pollution, the risks of deep-sea mining, the harmful impacts of fireworks, and more.

  • Social media awareness

    We use social media to spread the word about important causes, connect with our community, and make a positive impact on policies. It’s one way of getting our message out there and drive change! We try out different strategies and collaborate with a variety of influencers and other organisations. If you have suggestions for collaborations and content, let us know.

  • Supporting others

    A big part of WSH is also to support other NGOs and individuals who do good for nature, animals and humans. One example is supporting the human rights organisation A21 in their yearly demonstration against slavery. Being a part of WSH means doing a lot of WSH activism, but also participating in supporting other. If you want our support, feel free to reach out!

  • The Vegan Challenge (on pause)

    The Vegan Challenge encourages people to try eating vegan food for 22 days. The goal is to make the trial period as easy as possible. The challenge focuses on delicious food and recipes.
