Running the numbers on environmental waste

Powerful ways to communicate complex ideas are few and far between. If those ideas are factually based, it makes the job that much tougher. Enter Chris Jordan. A friend showed me some of his work and I became an instant fan. The work I like focuses on consumption in American culture, and is visually stunning as well as thought provoking.

I wish we could all see his work as it is meant to be viewed, huge, gigantic - sprawling on a jaw-dropping scale, much like the ideas he conveys. This link will have to do for now.

The AWEARNESS Blog provides daily updates under four socially-aware pillars of discussion: Social Rights, Well-Being, Political Landscape and Hard Times. This blog hopes to raise awareness around the issues that fall under these four areas in a dynamic and engaging format. In addition to regularly updated news and commentary under these topics, the blog also includes Q&As, original content from Kenneth Cole himself and contributions from staff members of Kenneth Cole Productions. There's a lot to delve into so we suggest you stop reading this boring intro stuff and get involved.
