Learn more about sustainability, which considers the needs of present generations, without compromising those of future generations. When it comes to the environment and economic interests, are they compatible? They can be, but it takes collective action. We need individuals to demand from businesses and governments alike to consider the de-coupled costs of consumption. The social and environmental impact that our economic system has in communities. We introduce the three pillars of sustainability: social, economic, environmental. Learn about carbon footprints.

Reflect on fast-fashion:
- What is the real cost of a t-shirt? Should they be cheaper? Weigh the pros and the cons.
- What do you know of overconsumption? You can check carbon footprints in the downloadable material.
- What is my cell phone made up of? Where do we source materials? Is it fair to the locals?
- What can we do to help the environment?
Think about the lifecycle of a cell phone: where do materials come from? Where does it get produced? Who designed it? Do I need a new one with every release? Where does the old one end up? How much money do you spend on buying devices and gadgets? What about the other products you consume? By being a conscious consumer, you are helping preserve Earth’s scarce resources and you can also save money.
