I've been re-working a visualization based on lines in #BrettWalker's #ToxicArchipelago. His 1994 data suggested that Japan poured 33x per unit area the over the amount poured by the USA. Down to 17x with recent data!! The code is clunky as as I reacquaint with #RacketPlot and see what I want to do at the same time. After comparing #CementProduction with #LandArea, let's see a Population comparison too. And compare Japan with Germany, and look into Incinerators..

The figures are from #ToxicArchipelago by #BrettWalker not the book I mistakenly mentioned in this post.

"In 1994 concrete production in Japan totaled 91.6 million tons, compared with 77.9 million tons in the United States. This means that Japan lays about thirty times as much per square foot as the United States" _Toxic Archipelago_ Brett Walker 情報デザイン、少しずつできるようになっている...と被いたいところです..時間がかかったけど面白いです、ちゃんとした教材にならないか心配が、それでも、gnuplotはパソコン言語みたい、ボケ防止になるだろう、

> Every person.. is entangled in a web of ecological relationships that link farms and factories with human consumers. Our lives depend on these relationships -- and are imperiled by them.. [especially] on the #Japanese archipelago.
.. #Japan saw the rise of Homo sapiens industrialis.. transformed by an engineered, #industrialized, and poisonous environment. #Toxins moved.. from mines, factory sites, and rice paddies into human bodies.

> The rock singer Saito Kazuyoshi rewrote his own hit song, “I Always Loved You” into an attack on the government and TEPCO called “They Were Always Lies”. When he put a live recording of the song on YouTube, it was immediately blocked and could not be seen on the Internet for some time.
