Imagine having everything you ever consume in your entire life laid out right in front of you – from the amount of trash you discard to the number of tears you cry.

Human Footprint tracks our consumption from birth to old
age in the developing world by visually illustrating each individual’s impact on
other people and the planet. In a single lifetime, the average person will consume
15,951 pints of milk, take 7,163 baths using almost one million litres of water
and have 104,390 dreams. Each of us will dispose of 40 tonnes of waste to the landfill,
drink 74,802 cups of tea, take 30,000 pills of medicine and eat a bathtub full of
beans. We will walk 24,887 kilometres in a lifetime and drive 728,489 kilometres
– enough to travel to the moon and back. It will take 24 trees to produce all of
the books and newspapers that you will ever read. Piling together all of the bread
you consume and igniting the amount of methane you expel, Human Footprint is a unique
and compelling visualisation of our imprint on the world. |
