What is McDonalds saying and why?

Globalisation, sustainability and localism • Increasing concerns about the environment and

unsustainability. • For example the BP Deep Water Horizon oil spill in 2010

leaked 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. • Huge environmental (600 turtles and 100 dolphins died) and

economic impact (shrimp, tuna and oyster fisherman all suffered smaller catches) • People boycotted BP following the disaster as a result. • Film trailer here• As a result people have been more and more aware of what

they buy and where it comes from and its impacts

Your Turn• Three groups, each will look at a specific area and

then present to the rest of the class next lesson.

Three groups 1. Localism is a response to globalisation as it increases sustainability

2. Ethical Consumerism and Fair Trade reduce environmental impacts

3. Recycling helps to manage resource consumption
