Human Footprint :EVERYTHING you've used in your life

I can't wait for this to air here Sun at 9:00 p.m on the Nat Geo channel.Their tagline is
"Everything you eat, Everything you drink. Your entire lifes consumption in one place at one time." (Americans)
I think it is gonna be both visually astounding and quite depressing all at the same time. Hopefully just the sight of it all will make us more aware of our gluttony, and more willing to curtail some of our frivolous purchases.If you saw my DVD collection you know I am just as guilty.

I was playing with the calculator and it was really astounding how much I use. I should be a hermit and live in a cave after all.

I know this is off topic but I don't think I'll mind.
O.K. now back to the Human Footprint........did you go calculate anything yet?

Just saw an advertisement here on WP for the "Human Footprint" that makes me feel better for some reason.
When people don't respond to this thread it makes me wonder if people even care about our consumption. I must learn to not acquaint "response" with "interest."

I want to see that!! I think the visual is going to be great! I love watching things add up into real life visuals that I can see or touch helps me to understand better
