Necromagus Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_set2 ... XXX_09NNN/ They're supposed to be even more mindblowing when seen in the actual exhibition. I could barely wrap my mind around the plastic bottle and plastic bag ones as it is.

Somnambulism Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 The phones statistic was unbelievable. And to think at least half of those are just 'outdated' and could be used in places where people can't afford phones. Other statistics about phones, as given to me by one of my lecturers: - Phone calls are 67% silence - There are 2 BILLION GSM phones - Mobile phone ownership percentage for the UK is 102% I do not love thee, Dr. Fell,The reason why I cannot tell;But this I know, and know full well,I do not love thee, Dr. Fell.

Bauke Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 That's deceiving. America is huge, and with loads of people. Spreading those total amounts over the entire surface of America and it suddenly isn't so "wow" anymore. Nonetheless, the statistics point out that we in fact do consume a lot. But showing it in this form is just deceiving. Twitter ||| Google+ ||| Facebook ||| LinkedIn ||| My very interesting weblog about science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassin_696 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Bloody hell :shock: 60,000 plastic bags, the number used in the US every five seconds. That's staggering. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barihawk Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 He obviously is not taking recycling into account. A good number of those plastics are re-used. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers.

MyPurpleCrayon Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yeah, it is quite deceiving, but that's still a whole lot. Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yeah, it is quite deceiving, but that's still a whole lot. Agreed. It is a lot but then you have to take into account how large we are and how much of that gets reused. I mean, its cool and a really neat idea but it is deceiving.

vilageidiotx Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Its alot to look at all at once, but when spread among the entire country, i feel it to be understandable. Im not exactly sure what this proves though Some people are like slinkies, normally they are dull, but they always give you a smile when you push them down a flight of stairs.

How2PK Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 It's kind of funny, or sad, that the only thing that is happenin here is ignoring it and automatically go into defence mode.

Viktorkrum77 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Wow. Not the statistics, just the sheer size of the images. Would be so much fun to swim in. Ok, the cell phone and paper/plastic bag ones were surprising. I loved the Seurat made out of pop cans. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad4u689 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 The consequences of an extremely over-processed society. Ah, well. It's convenient in the short term, at least, eh? :D Everybody hug and spread the love :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hope that countries like the U.S are world leaders in recycling. We are. (In fact, some states even fine people for not recycling). I hate to spoil the message, but these are overhyped. When spread among the population of the US and given programs such as recycling they are really not that impressive.
