One more reason to go local

For Visual Loop’s third exclusive infographic they picked up on an issue that really has a visible impact in our lives: Consumerism.

Of course, we all enjoy shopping around, and getting access to worldwide items bought through a simple click of a button. Or driving around in our brand new cars feeling free, independent, and happy. Or going to some exotic restaurant, tasting the mysterious flavors of foreign cuisine.

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 all the other environmental impacts caused by that lifestyle, one thing becomes clear: we need to change.

Take a look at some of the numbers Visual Loop offers here, and think about it.

Or better yet, act upon it.
