## Resource

November is synonymous with Black Friday, great deals but what cost? Over consumption is endangering our already fragile planet. Is it time to change our ways? This week Do You Really Know is highlighting concepts and initiatives about reducing our consumption. You might have heard of ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ a motto with the aim of encouraging us to think about how we consume and consider the impact that buying lots of stuff has on the planet. But now the high end department store Selfridges has launched a new campaign, ‘Project Earth’ to try and change the way we shop: resale, repair, rental and refill is their response to customers' growing demands for sustainable shopping and move away from fast fashion and disposable goods. What is the aim? How will it work? What other changes has Selfridges planned? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
