Watch Your Footprint

The National Geographic Channel will air a special on Sunday, April 13th titled, "Human Footprint". The show sheds light on how much waste we create in a lifetime from diapers, candy, soda, milk, water and more. Clever visuals include a river of rubber ducks representing one person's lifetime water consumption and a front yard full of dirty diapers for one child. The host, Elizabeth Vargas, points out that those diapers won't biodegrade within the lifetime of the child who wore them (at least 500 years). Not only do we get to see what and how much we consume but how those products are made and the materials consumed to make them.


Set your Tivos and DVRs for this Sunday, April 13th. The National Geographic Channel will air "Human Footprint" at 8pm EST. You can get a preview tonight on 20/20 at 10pm EST.
