Dude, Your Footprint Is Huge!
April 11, 2008
Ever wonder how much…stuff you go through during your lifetime? [ABC News]
So did ABC’s 20/20. Here’s a sneak peek at a special they’re running tonight on all of your stuff.
• 13,056: Number of pints of milk you’ll drink in your life.
• 87,520: Number of slices of bread you’ll eat.
• 28,433: Number of showers you’ll take.
• 3,796: Number of diapers your baby will wear.
• 22,455: Number of gallons of water it would take to wash all of those diapers.
• 1.5 million: Number of houses built in America every year.
• 64: The number of trees that died to make that house.
The 20/20 special will also show what people are doing in the attempt to make their footprints on the earth just a little smaller. Tune in, it should be pretty good.
Wonder how much time we spend watching television programs about how wasteful we are?
