We use how much?

I told some of you about this website perhaps close to two years ago, but it is worth mentioning again, especially since the site has been expanded. Photographer Chris Jordan of Seattle feels that bare statistics, such as we use 106,000 aluminum cans every thirty seconds, float past our minds without comprehension. So he has created images to dramatize those numbers. The images definitely stick.

He also has photos of the refuse of our mass consumption and of refuse from Katrina.
