It takes 13 tonnes of water to produce a single modern smart phone. Everything comes with Carbon foot prints and taxes, while children work in sweatshops in third world countries to produce goods to feed the endless hunger of global consumers. Everywhere, campaigners are working tirelessly to raise awareness of the real cost behind the food we eat and the lives we live, while more and more people are beginning to wonder if there is a better way.
