Sometimes we hear about numbers that try to capture the size of our consumer culture, but they're so large that it's hard to really comprehend what they represent. To get a visual of it, check out photographer Chris Jordan’s art series “Running the Numbers” which depicts this stuff in a remarkable way.

Nana's Favorites: Cans Seurat, 2007 followed by Denali Denial, 2007
"Plastic Bags" is one of my favorites due to the personal contribution of our family. I count 6,549 with diapers from Aya & Arys. I also find "Shipping Containers" fascinating and more than a little scary. Doesn't seem too hard to somehow slip something pretty small but really dangerous into the United States in that many daily arrivals. Maybe there's a better way to spend that $12.5 millon per hour depicted in "Ben FRanklin" that would buy us some goodwill and friends?
