Amazing, both as art, and as a teaching tool. Look upon Plastic Bottles (2007), see what 2 million plastic bottles looks like, and then marvel at the fact that Americans are consuming that every five minutes. If broadcast media is really interested in informing the public, they’ll hire Chris Jordan to do information presentation graphics every time they use a statistic that’s incomprehensibly large.

Wait’ll ya see the one depicting the one million plastic cups used by airlines in the U.S. every 6 hours.
