Conclusion: Local actions have global impacts
• As we have seen, the amount of products that each of us buy in the UK (our consumption) has an impact in other countries
• So our local actions have global consequences
• We have the power then, to “think global and act local,” so that we can make the world a better place
• If we value our children’s future, we need to think about our environment. And increasingly more people are now thinking ecologically.
