  1. Thanks for the ping!

  2. Sweeet Jebus. That’s a whole lot of rainforest!

  3. Actually, money’s made at least partially out of cotton.

  4. Cotton, being a plant. What do you suppose the carbon footprint of $800 B would be? Granted, it’s all electronic, but still. Curious thought.

    M.E.H. (initials)
  5. The physical perspective here is irrelevant.

    Why didn’t you guys rather show what other causes could have been diminished for that size of an investment etc. Technically, yes, this is a visualization but really, it’s useless!

    waisted opportunity if you ask me

  6. this is dumb.

  7. Why not use Hundreds. The stacks would be 100X smaller….
