myedol:

Gyre by Chris Jordan

Composed of 2.4 million pieces of plastic, which is the estimated number of pounds of plastic that enter the world’s ocean’s every hour.

“But when you get up close and look at our overworked dysfunctional families, the waste streams of our products, the wars our greed is fostering, worldwide environmental degradation, toxic metals in the breast milk of Eskimo women, birth defects in the children of the mothers who assemble our electronics in China, then you start to see that our consumer lifestyle is not so pretty.”

(Chris Jordan in Orion in 2007.)
