Everyday objects that reveal our impacts

Why an object?

When you take a deep hard look at an everyday object such as an apple, a t-shirt or a mobile phone through the prism of the Doughnut, we can learn a lot about how our consumption triggers a host of social and ecological impacts, here in Brussels and elsewhere in the world.

Once these impacts are recognized, it becomes possible to make more conscious choices, both at the individual and organizational levels.
