The Site by Chris Jordan really gives a new meaning to "Look Closer" or "You won't believe what you see! He makes pictures out of 1,000's and millions of products we use every day to show us the magnitude of what we're "wasting" and not "using." It is crazy to think that we are spending 1.5 million dollars in Iraq every hour! What??? That's crazy when at the same time he's also letting people know that there are 9 million kids in the US with no health insurance? That makes me mad. It makes me mad to think that we can sit there and take the taxes we're charged to pay for war overseas and not to keep the citizens of America healthy. There's something wrong there. Also, now that I know that it would take a million years for one shopping bag to bio-degrade, I am sickened to think that we still are making them. Why is it that we are still acting like we don't know the fact. We know the facts, but are ignorant and just want to ignore the facts. It's ludacrist to sit there and repeat these wrongdoings every day, day in and day out. Plastic is a great invention yes. I have seen the commercials saying that plastic saves lives. That it's used in Law Enforcement and in automobiles and also in medical procedures, but when you use it for practical things like carrying groceries and putting drinks in, it's insane. We need to go back and redo or rethink or reinvent things.

Wow--this one subject did get you mad! But with absolute reason.
Why did you choose the videos you did? I mean, I get the general reasons, but could we get some specifics?
Good pros and cons on plastic.
And 1.5 every hour? WOW I didnt know that. That is a big number.
When I saw these pictures I was like wow! So Many things that are put out for garbage and most of them probably because someone got the upgraded version of the same product. It is also sad that U.S.A. can deal with its own waste.
That right there my friend, should get all of us mad. There should be a way where we could decide on what our taxes should be spent on. Having the choice to vote for the candidate of prefrence is good, but not enough IMO.
