This year the “world overshoot day”, falls on August 2. This means that we have already exhausted all of the planet’s reserves for the current year. And each year, the situation is more and more alarming.
In this context, some businesses are trying to raise awareness of the “real cost” of their products. This is the case of a German supermarket chain which includes the environmental costs linked to production in the receipt. And that drives up the bill.
In Berlin, at the checkout of a supermarket, customers are divided on this sudden price increase. While some prioritize their savings above all else, others believe it’s a good thing to draw people’s attention to what is behind the prices of the products they buy.
In total, the action of this discount store involves nine everyday consumer products. The aim is to give an overview of the real cost of their production, which is not or usually not reflected in the selling price. Also included are: effects on soil, water, climate or health.
