I'm Julie, and I live with my husband and three young daughters in New South Wales suburbia, Australia. This is the online journal I kept until recently, of how we are trying to live more simply & sustainably in suburbia.

This blog is on indefinite hiatus but please feel free to look around my archives for some inspiration in your own journey to living more lightly and sustainably.

Artful Waste

A friend emailed a link to Chris Jordan's website this morning, and it's amazing. His series of artwork images entitled Running The Numbers portray some pretty horrifying statistics about waste in American society; for example "Plastic Bottles, 2007" which portrays two million plastic drink bottles, the number of bottles consumed in the US every five minutes.

Scary, scary stuff. Check it out:

Chris Jordan's "Running the Numbers".

They are pretty "wow" aren't they?
