I love flea markets, I love second hand shops.

For our third exclusive infographic, we decided to picked up on an issue that really has a visible impact in our lives: Consumerism.

But, here’s the thing: when we look up at the numbers behind the impact of those everyday pleasures, and think about the ongoing debate about climate change and the all the other environmental impacts caused by that lifestyle, one thing gets clear: we need to change.
Take a look at some of the numbers we’re bringing you here, and think about it.
