One of the obstacles in overcoming global environmental and social problems is the sheer scale of everything, it’s overwhelming. The Miniature Earth takes a look at the world and compacts it into a comprehensible size, a small community made up of just 100 people.
The percentages translate to representative numbers, like if the world population was 100 people 61 of them would be Asian.
The site goes through the planet in these terms, bringing massive numbers to a smaller scale and putting things in perspective. This small project can make a big impact. It’s intent is successful, it makes you appreciate what you have. This is why I think it’s green, it is a remedy for over consumption. Check it out online at The Miniature Earth.
