National Geo

From National Geographic:
Everything you eat. Everything you drink. Everything you use. Your entire life’s consumption. In one place at one time.
For a long time I’ve had this exact thought floating around in my head. “Every piece of fruit I ever ate, what would that look like visually?”, or more literally, “how big would that pile be?”
A startling factoid on the shows site states that each of us sends an average of 64 tons of waste to the landfill in our lives. That’s collectively 246 million tons each year. Sixty million plastic bottles a day, 694 every second. And it goes on… oh this modern life.
Tune in Sunday for an eye opener.

Thanks for pointing out this cool TV show from National Geo. I even gave up Surfing….. the web for a whole day. The “human footprint” could explain why some old people require a larger shoe size as time goes by. If we reduce our Font size…will that help?
