Grab some fantastic sustainable shopping advice from eco-warrior Lindsay Karlsen, from VALYOS – an online eco-friendly marketplace!

Why is sustainable shopping important? The global population is expected to rise to 8.5 billion people by 2030 with the middle class increasing by 3 billion people over the next 20 years. Since 1990 the amount of natural resources extracted per person has risen from 8.1 tonnes to almost 12 tonnes in 2015. That’s a huge increase in demand which will continue to put a strain on the planetary boundaries, if not addressed.
