We\u2019ve arrived at a tipping point where an increasing number of people have become aware that something needs to change in the way we produce and consume goods. We are taking the time to educate ourselves on how to reduce our carbon footprint and lead a more sustainable lifestyle. We are no longer interested in throwaway consumer goods, but instead, our purchases become more sensible, favouring quality over quantity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While we are still trying to figure out how to fight the large scale battle for the planet, our homes are facing a renaissance and starting to lead the revolution <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by example<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Historically, household objects were rarely thrown away, but rather reused or repurposed.
