Green Friday: Why aren't we doing Black Friday & what we are doing instead.

+ Last year in the UK alone, Black Friday was claimed to have emitted 386,243 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, the same weight as 3,679 blue whales.

+ The Guardian even revealed that in 2017, a diesel truck left an Amazon fulfilment centre around every 93 seconds!

+ It has been estimated that up to 80% of all the Black Friday purchases we usually make will end up being thrown away after just having been used once or even never at all.

+ Due to its impact on the environment and the promotion of unsustainable consumption habits, the French government is considering banning Black Friday in order to protect the planet.
