Also, check the new series of Chris Jordan whose pictures are a perfect visualisation tool for ESD. Do you wonder what two million plastic beverage bottles, the number used in the US every five minutes, actually stands for? The number of trees harvested? Chris Jordan looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminium cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. He hopes that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. His underlying desire is to affirm and sanctify the crucial role of the individual in a society that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, and overwhelming.
