Many times, I find myself thinking about what the numbers actually are when reading about environmental claims. I’ve decided to start making information graphics illustrating answers to these questions. Here is the first in, hopefully, a series of many. It follows the trail of industrially produced nitrogen and the inefficiencies in the process.
I began with the infographic below but I realized it was not illustrating the scope of the problem correct. As a result, I created the piece above as an interactive graphic. I think it is an interesting idea to be able to dive deeper into a stand-alone graphic. As I wanted to lean more towards a graphic than an piece of interactive media, I tried to keep the complexity down and for it to neatly return back to its original form at the end.
