Sooner or later, these valuable resources will be gone forever, and we will be forced to move onto renewable sources of energy. This will not – and can not – last forever. The majority of households still use non-renewable sources of energy to fuel their homes and cars.

Around 75,000 animals are still killed in laboratories each year. When we buy sustainably, we also need to make sure the products we buy are not tested on animals. This deforestation currently affects already-endangered species across the globe, including chimpanzees, tigers and African elephants. For example, when we commit to buying products without palm oil, we're doing our bit to reduce the impact of deforestation. When we live more sustainably, we're able to reduce the threat that still exists to animals across the world. The way we live is not sustainable – and it's harming species that do not have a say in the matter. When you make a commitment to living more sustainably, you reduce your impact on air pollution – playing your part in reducing the impact it has in our communities.Ī 2018 report from the WWF claims humans wiped out 60% of the world's wildlife between 19. According to the WHO, 91% of the global population lives in an area where air pollution exceeds acceptable limits, causing 4.2 million deaths each year. It's all around us, in the air we breathe. This is an invisible threat – we can't see it, but we also can't escape it. The World Health Organisation (WHO) lists air pollution as one of the biggest threats to our health.
