Consumption Art

[wulf]

I found a fascinating website today, exhibiting pictures that give some sense of the scale of American consumerism. For example (apologies for the large pic but it didn't give thumbnail versions):



That is created from the number of cans of soft drink consumed every 30 seconds! America, as a very consumerist society with lots of people obviously generates an extraordinary amount of rubbish; I suspect that similar art from other countries would still have far more "material" to work with than might be ideal!

Good one Wulf.

Unfortunately I don't think we are much better! *sigh*

Very interesting. It would be good to see them live to get a real sense of scale.

I agree complete Zoe, its a shame that more people don't think the way the lot of us does.
