Weekly green web: the art of waste

Posted by jamie — 7 March 2008 at 3:42pm - Comments

Awesomeness on the web this week includes:

  • Mashing statistics and art is Seattle-based Chris Jordan, who has produced these amazing and profoundly depressing visualisations of the resources we use and the waste we produce.
  • Cycling can be bad for your health in a spontaneous combustion kind of way.
  • John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, wants to sue Al Gore for fraud over climate change.
  • Two absurdly healthy outward bound types are about to begin walking the entire length of the Amazon river (the first people to do so, appearently) to document "the different experiences and opinions of the people that live and work in the Amazon rainforest", as well as raising awareness about climate change.
  • A slideshow of stunning images from the new book, Fragile Earth, was the Guardian's most popular web page for a couple of days this week.
