The document summarizes an art exhibit by photographer Chris Jordan called "Running the Numbers, an American Self Portait" which highlights the massive amounts of waste produced in the United States each day through a series of images depicting the quantity of discarded items like cell phones, cigarette packs, airplane flights, batteries, plastic cups and more in numerical form. The exhibit aims to draw attention to the millions of objects that accumulate beyond sight and have environmental impacts, using data solely from waste in the US to encourage reduced consumption and more sustainable practices by individuals.
