Picturing the Numbers, Picturing the Problems

You all should check out Chris Jordan’s “Running the Numbers”. It is a really interesting photographic representation of some pretty staggering statistics. For example, the picture shown “Depicts 1.14 million brown paper supermarket bags, the number used in the US every hour.” I really like this image because it references the one of the major problems with using so many paper bags, that we have to cut down so many trees. Some of his other images are just interesting looking piles.
