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
