The 'stuff' that humans have made is far more than you can imagine
« on: December 02, 2016, 09:05:54 pm »
A new report has calculated the total mass of all the technology humans have produced, everything from buildings to cars and computers, and found it is an astounding 30 trillion tons. That is more than the total amount of living matter on Earth. It shows the sheer magnitude of the human impact on our planet, which is still growing.
