Massive Health People around the world show remarkable similarity in their daily eating habits: meals start off healthy in the morning, but get progressively worse throughout the day – until by nightfall we're deep into junk food territory. Just take a look at these images from mobile startup Massive Health . Focus on the dots over North America in the upper left, which indicate the healthiness (green) or unhealthiness (red) of people's meals at different times of day.

Europe’s Economic Powerhouse Drifts East read a headline in the New York Times last year, referring to the shifting economies not only within the European Union as shown in a series of cartograms on this website , but also in a wider sense. As the NYT states: “ Last year [i.e. 2010] , the euro area’s share of German exports fell to 41 percent from 43 percent in 2008, while Asia’s share rose to 16 percent from 12 percent, according to Bundesbank figures. During the same period, exports to Asia rose by €28 billion, while exports to the euro area fell by the same amount. ” This trend is interesting when reflecting on the implications of Germany’s continuing strength amid a continent of economic woes : With its economic strength, the country is doomed to take over some leadership in Europe, while its past makes it struggle to do so. The Guardian recently stated that “ Germany, Europe’s reluctant Goliath, is hiding its true strength “.The Knowledge Effect | The World at 7 Billion - Population and the Environment
We are proud to be participating in the “ 7 Billion Actions ” campaign, a call to action to highlight the challenges, opportunities and actions that will shape our common future. The goal of the 7 Billion Actions campaign is to promote dialogue about what it means to live in a world with so many people and to encourage action on issues that affect us all as global citizens. Over the next 7 days, we will provide you with 7 infographics that provide a multitude of information about the world’s population. No simple relationship exists between population size and environmental change. Demand for land, water, food and fossil fuels will only increase as world population grows, increasing the stress on the Earth’s limited resources. Today’s graphic shows the different dynamics in this relationship, highlighting emissions, consumption, food, water and more.
C’est par cette accroche qu’ECLAIRAGE PUBLIC relance sa campagne de sensibilisation, afin de convaincre les fondus de camembert qu’il existe d’autres façons de visualiser l’information. Plus fortes, plus percutantes et surtout plus utiles. Chez nos amis anglophones, l’affaire est entendue. Voilà belle lurette qu’ils ont compris la puissance de l’image et utilisent à loisir l’infographie, dans les médias comme dans les entreprises, pour éclairer leurs publics. Voir à ce sujet l’excellent travail de l’agence Column Five , aux Etats-Unis, du magazine en ligne Good , du journal The Guardian , en Grande Bretagne, pour ne citer qu’eux. Mais en France – pays du camembert s’il en est – on en est encore à faire des fromages… Or le fromage, à toutes les sauces et à tous les repas, avouez-le, ça finit par être indigeste.
