🌍Explore the environmental impact of consumption with a Defra-funded tool developed by @JNCC_UK + SEI @UniOfYork!📊💧🌳
Track #Biodiversity loss, water use + deforestation linked to countries' consumption via an open dashboard➡️commodityfootprints.earth/ #Sustainability
Nearly all the food we eat, clothes we wear & cosmetics we use come from commodities grown in fields & forests around the world.🌍
Our consumption creates demand for these products, but it also drives deforestation, water scarcity & excess use of fertilisers & pesticides... 🧵
