The infographic created by Chesca Kirkland unfolds a story of water consumption required to produce certain kinds of food.įrom chocolate to cheese, coffee and beer, every product requires a certain amount of freshwater to grow or be produced.
Hidden food production costs involve a great amount of freshwater. If you are curious about plastic waste, here are some resources for you: a guide on plastic waste, detailed info on the plastic waste pollution from the UN Environment Program and Impacts of Mismanaged Trash by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. One of the major findings here is that the GDP of the country and efficient plastic waste management aren’t always correlated – you can see it by irregular patterns shown in the infographic. The names of the countries that report 100% of all their plastic waste handled properly are highlighted in bold. We can see plastic waste management for every country in a colored bar chart. The infographic provides a clear and precise picture on current surface plastic mass by ocean, measuring it in a creative way. Based on data on the distribution of total plastic waste generation by continent, Jamie Kettle created this personal project to estimate the percentage of the plastic waste that was inadequately disposed of.
