The answer is… false! 

A person in Luxembourg consumes on average 56 times more material each year than a person in Afghanistan 🤯

The world uses around 100 billion metric tons of resources every year – and consumption is distributed about as unevenly as you’d imagine.

The top quarter of the world’s population by material footprint consumes 52% of global resources. The bottom quarter? Just 6%.

The good news? Everyday choices – buying less, sharing more, choosing second-hand – all add up. And you’re already here, so you’re already part of the solution 💚
