How and why to make a conscious Black Friday purchase
Black Friday, the shopping frenzy that began in the US, has made its way to the UK, drawing shoppers with enticing discounts. However, its environmental impact is hard to ignore. This year, let’s consider an eco-friendly alternative: Green Friday. This movement encourages thoughtful, sustainable shopping while supporting local independent businesses.
The Environmental Cost of Black Friday
Black Friday’s impact on the planet is sobering, check out the stats:
- 80% of purchases made on Black Friday are estimated to end up in landfills.
- Clothing bought on this day consumes 1.5 billion cubic metres of water—enough to supply 100 million people for a year.
- It generates over 1 million tons of plastic packaging waste.
It’s time to rethink how we shop.
