Getting Wasted

There's more than meets the eye here.  This shows 426,000 cell phones.  That's how many are retired in the US every day.  Craziness.

When they put it that way, it really makes you think.  Look at all that waste; it adds up so fast.  And that's just the US!  The numbers are staggering.

Chris Jordan's full collection has lots of art like this which shows our impact on the Earth.  Check it out.
