Our project is based on the idea that if every person on earth consumed the resources an average American does, we would need 4.1 earths to sustain the world's population. We felt the need to work with materials that would help convey our message, so we worked with a trash can and trash bags. We colored the continents and oceans onto four bags (using markers made from recycled plastic) and placed the bags onto the trash can. The inability of all the bags to fit in the can is a metaphor for the unsustainability of consuming at the rate Americans do.
