The real impact of our consumption is invisible to most people. Let us show you what it really takes to feed our lifestyles. The images in this video will show you the true-to-life size of your environmental footprint. Our cities are growing and our homes are filling up with things. Our lifestyles are changing. This is true especially in Asia and the Pacific, which uses more materials than the rest of the world combined – where 50 billion tonnes of minerals and biological resources are extracted from the environment every year. Making our lifestyles more sustainable is key to tackling some of the biggest environmental problems we face. This is a VR video—a video that gives you a sense of depth in every direction so you feel like you’re actually there. Watch it in a Google Cardboard viewer (g.co/cardboard) or any other VR viewer.
