Hungry Planet:  Biting Off More Than We Can Chew

Hungry Planet: Biting Off More Than We Can Chew

How many calories are consumed each day by people in different countries around the world?  How much food do we throw out in the U.S. daily?  Did you know that on August 20th, 2013 we consumed all of the earth’s allotted resources for the entire year?

The answers to these questions and others are in the Hungry Planet Infographic published by International Business Guide.  The Hungry Planet infographic outlines the large amounts of food and energy that countries around the world consume, and how much garbage we produce in the process in both text and graphics.

This infographic features questions and answers combined with bright illustrated images, which paints current picture of food and energy use.  Once you read it, you might get a sense of how many calories you eat a day, how much food U.S. citizens eat, and how much energy we have used recently.
