On Thursday (June 1st, 2017), President Donald Trump announced he would withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement, the 2015 international accord under which the world's nations proclaimed their intention to limit global warming. That might seem at first like a daring act, especially since global emissions appear to have reached a plateau over the last few years since the world's big polluters converged on the agreement. OLX Lebanon takes Trump's announcement as an opportunity to remind its users that neither Trump nor critics of Paris pullout will affect the climate - the true change starts in our own homes.
This number is equivalent to around 102 million trees grown for a period of 10 years.If we consider another measurement, the CO2 emissions saved is equivalent to over 15 billion kilometers driven by the average passenger vehicle, which is 100 times the distance between our planet and the Sun. This, and more, has been revealed by an exclusive OLX Lebanon report done in conjunction with Alcott Group.
Select insights from the report were released in the run-up to World Environment Day on June 5, 2017. The report covered OLX Lebanon transactions for the year 2016. All stages in the life-cycle of a product until it reaches the user were considered for some of the most traded product categories on OLX Lebanon.
"Extending the life of a product is an essential strategy towards sustainability. The Lebanese market has been a remarkable success story in passing on goods, and making it commercially viable is a wonderful example of leapfrogging to a sustainable lifestyle." Touqan concluded.
