At least UK has the most flea markets

Euronews has posted the headline results of a survey of shopping eco-consciousness in European nations. Over a range of measures (the relative weighting of which is clearly open to dispute) Finland tops the league. 

In the section on reduction in consumption footprint Italy wins with 26.03 per cent over the past 10 years. It is closely followed by Sweden (21.99 per cent) and Greece (20.75 per cent). Given Sweden's already high consumer standards, her score is outstanding.

Before Vinted, Shpock and the like, there were flea markets and these continue to thrive. This is one arena in which the UK scores highest.
