한 사람이 평생 쓰는 생필품 <Human footprint>

 

This is World News with Charles Gibson brought to you by Hyundai. Tonight, we have an extraordinary 특별한, 비범한 visual representation of what each of consume in a year and in a lifetime. It’s quite sobering 사람을 정신나게 하는 when you see it all at once. For it brings home just how much impact each American has on the environment. Here’s ABC’s Elizabeth Vargas.

 

It’s an amazing picture of consumption and waste 낭비. Each year, Americans throw out 18 billion disposable diapers 1회용 종이 기저귀, enough to stretch around the world 90 times. That’s part of the reason an American at the age of 1 already has a bigger carbon footprint 개인의 이산화탄소 사용 총량 than a Tanzanian will have in a lifetime.

 

In your lifetime, if you’re average American, you will drink 13,056 pints of milk. Do you like soft drinks? Well, you’ll consume 43, 371 sodas and then toss the cans.

 

In our lives, on average, each of us will buy 7 washing machines, 5 refrigerators, 7 air conditioners and each one of these rubber ducks represents a shower that you will take. That’s 28,433 showers over your lifetime using 700,000 gallons of water.

 

And as for those diapers, just to make enough diapers for one American toddler 아장아장 걷는 아이 for two and a half years, takes 1,900 pints 액량, 건량의 단위 of crude oil 원유 and the pulp 펄프, 종이의 원료 of four and a half trees. Americans make up 5% of the world’s population. If everyone else lived like we do, we would need 4 planets to supply the resources and store the massive amount of waste.
