The document summarizes an art exhibit by photographer Chris Jordan highlighting the massive amounts of waste produced daily in the United States through a series of images depicting the numbers. Each image represents a different type of discarded item such as 426,000 cell phones daily or 200,000 cigarette packs which is the same number of Americans who die every six months due to smoking. The exhibit titled "Running the Numbers, an American Self Portrait" aims to draw attention to the millions of objects that accumulate beyond sight and impact the environment.
