WEEE Man
The WEEE man, designed by Paul Bonomini, is a huge robotic figure made of scrap electrical and electronic equipment. It weighs 3.3 tonnes and stands seven meters tall – representing the average amount of e-products every single one of us throws away over a lifetime.
I don't understand how the 3.3 ton figure can possibly be calculated considering how fast electronics have changed in size, etc. over the years, other than to just take the consumption figures of an average lifetime of someone that died in 2005. It's pretty awesome looking though, and puts things in perspective if it is accurate.
