In recent years, resources have been consumed at a faster pace.
From now until the turn of the year, we live on natural resources we do not really have.
We "borrow" from future generations.
If the rest of the world's population consumed as we do in Sweden, the resources would be exhausted now.
Therefore, the municipality of Söderhamn now calls on everyone to take their environmental responsibility.
Sustainable lifestyle is lacking
During the pandemic, we in Sweden have reduced the consumption of travel, transport and clothing and footwear purchases.
But at the same time, e-commerce has increased sharply, we are overconsuming and a sustainable lifestyle is lacking.
Risk of mass extinction
If we do not adjust our consumption, we risk mass extinction of plants and animals, climate change and the spread of environmental toxins, the municipality of Söderhamn announces in a press release.
