INFOGRAPHIC: HUMANS EATING PLASTIC

Pass The Legos, Please

Over the past few years we’ve certainly seen plenty of scientific research that confirms that plastic material, and the toxins attached to them, are entering our bodies. This isn’t a shock, as we also know that micro and nano plastics are now found in literally every corner of our planet … in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and the soil that we cultivate. So there’s no doubt that it’s there, but what we don’t clearly know yet is the impact that plastic is having on human health.

We believe it can’t possibly be having a positive affect on us, but science will eventually answer that question. For now, let’s have a look at how much plastic we are ingesting over time, via this infographic about humans eating plastic:

Las Cosas Hechas Por Humanos Ahora Superan La Biomasa De La Tierra

El Peso De La Humanidad Frente Al Mundo Natural

No es ningún secreto que nuestro impacto humano en la Tierra está transformando en gran medida nuestra experiencia compartida y, a menudo, no para bien. Extinción de especies, escasez de agua potable, aire contaminado, sustancias químicas que causan enfermedades, más CO2, cambio climático y… bueno, ya entiendes la idea.

Human-Made Stuff Now Outweighs Earth’s Biomass

The Weight of Humanity vs. The Natural World

It’s no secret that our human impact on Earth is greatly reshaping our shared experience – and often not for the good. Extinction of species, scarce drinking water, polluted air, disease-causing chemicals, more CO2, climate change, and … well you get the idea.

Sure, we’ve done some great things as well, but it’s hard to look past the damage that we are increasingly responsible for. As our species has “advanced” to the top of the food chain, so too has our appetite for things and the production and infrastructure required to satisfy our need for those things. And it is a BIG need – a hunger that has driven an addiction that recovery might never come from.
