The goal to get more action and public drive behind sustainability will be greatly increased by opening people's minds to a more collective view as many people see their effects as local.

Hence, I feel we can do alot of good by offering effective media or emails that serve to both make people think about their second nature actions as well as inject a bit of fear, since fear induces habit change. Therefore, I would like to see a Website or the like which creatively illustrates two pipes-- One pipe would represent the aggregate area and circumference for ALL exhaust being dumped into the air and the other pipe, the oil being consumed from the planet at a given second. Similar to debt clock but more visual.

These pipes take into account the collective size of ALL exhaust pipes and intake valves including all vehicles at any given second (on average of course), albeit Cars, Trucks, Airplanes, Boats, Cargo Containers, etc.

To grasp what is happening on a forest view rather than our day to day "tree watching" would both inject some surprise and possibly lead to a more preemptive action as I feel humans usually act too late as a group.
