It would be nice if these stats could be normalized so it would be easier to understand.
First example a roundtrip flight SFO to LHR is a little over 17,000km. Since you give the distances of other things why not the distances of flights.
Second, could the distances for different transportation be more normalized so its easier to understand what has a greater impact on the environment? 17,000km flight vs 5000km compact car vs 1000km of public transport makes it hard to visual the difference.
Third, are you accounting in your recycling stat that most recycled materials are only recycled at a 1-10% rate, most much lower than 10%. Meaning every 3kg you recycle only 0.3 isn't added to a landfill at best. Plastic Example

It would be better if the public transport was per 5000km not 1000km so that it matches the suv/compact car travel. But a great visualisation!

ITT people thinking the issue with straws are carbon emissions instead of plastics in the ocean
