The folloing link is to a site showing pictures made out of various waste products... for instance.. the first picture is made out of the number of paper cups used by American airlines in a six hour period!!!!!!!!!!!!!  current work
Please take the time to scroll through them.. they are very clever as well as being informative

Wow they're great. What a good idea for showing what we, well the Americans use every day. It's only when you see things like that, that you realize the scale of the waste we, the human races, produce.
Thanks for sharing it with us/me.

Those images are amazing, it's hard to believe that the images just represent what the U.S.A. discard, put on a global scale the figures must be astrinomical. And thats not taking into account the pollutants pumped into the sea and into the atmosphere.
I pity my children, and their children

Amazing yet beautiful images but an excellent method of putting across the amount of waste we use or throw away. | | |
