Average Plastic Consumption

Slide Content:

The PowerPoint slide compares the annual plastic bag consumption per resident between the USA and Denmark. It illustrates that shoppers in the USA use nearly 1 plastic bag per resident each day, whereas in Denmark, the average is only 4 bags per resident per year. This stark contrast serves to highlight the differences in consumer behavior and environmental impact between the two countries.

Graphical Look:

• The title is at the top in large, bold letters.
• A graphic of a green shopping bag icon labeled "USA vs Denmark".
• Two text boxes compare the usage: one stating "1 plastic bag per resident per day" for the USA, and the other "4 bags per resident a year" for Denmark.
• Blue plastic bag icons fill the majority of the slide to visually represent the volume of consumption.
• Four yellow plastic bag icons are grouped at the bottom to signify Denmark's lower consumption rate.
• The slide uses blue for the USA and yellow for Denmark to differentiate between the two.

The visual design of the slide is straightforward and uses iconography to convey the vast difference in plastic bag usage between the two countries. The contrasting colors and the sheer number of icons effectively illustrate the message.

Use Cases:

This slide could be used in environmental presentations to discuss consumer habits, in policy-making sessions to advocate for reducing plastic usage, or in marketing meetings to strategize on promoting eco-friendly products. It is also useful for educational purposes to raise awareness about sustainable practices.
