I saw this over at 365 Days of Trash.  While this animation speaks for itself it also has an ‘away’ as in ‘thrown away’ and that is off screen.  In real life there is no ‘away’ – its just ‘thrown over there where hopefully I can’t see it’.  I think the video would speak more if it showed the rate a volume was filled by our unnecessary trash.  Anyway, enjoy and remember that drinking tap water produces zero bottles/second.  Cities spend millions on making safe and enjoyable, go enjoy it.

post script – I’m too dumb to figure out how to embed the player so you’ll have to deal with a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZbTXDkrD1o

post post script: anyone know how to do it?  tinyMCE keeps removing the code on me…
