Myemma has a good visualization on the importance of even a single tree.


3 – How ‘Green’ is the Apple iPhone?

Mobile Magazine has a great infographic on how ‘green’ or maybe un-‘green’ the Apple iPhone really is. Incredible that charging each iPhone sold in 2010 just once, will power a light bulb for 357 years!

No Impact Week New York has put together a visualization showing the importance of water and how it translates into other aspects of life. Can you believe it takes 300 tons of water to make 1 ton of steel?

    The earth day info-graphics is very interesting and it gives new information on being environment-conscious. I like the poster which indicates the value of a tree and waste in space poster. I wasn’t aware that computer energy use is harmful to the environment.
