To mark SustFest24 we've curated a small display exploring how items from our collection reveal Hertfordshire’s connections to global consumerism.
Trace how our consumer choices through time connect us with the exploitation of both people and resources across the globe.
What are our smartphones really made of and where have those minerals come from?
What are we wearing, and who was involved in the making?
What products do we use everyday and what is their environmental impact?
We’ll be asking what we can learn from these histories and if there is a more sustainable way.
