Looking At Unsconscious Consumption

Source: TED talk

• 426,000 cellphones are retired every day.
• 1.1million brown paper bags are used every hour.
• 4 milion plastic cups are used on US airline flights everyday (and are NOT recycled)
• 1 out of 4 humans in prison is an American

Artist Chris Jordan translates these and other mind-numbing statistics by creating his shocking images of contemporary American culture and the effects that our unconscious collective behavior as consumers is having on the planet and for the next billions that will inherit the planet.
