An average (UK) person's life foot print

Channel 4 has just broadcast an excellent programme on what we all here in the UK, on average use in our life time.

Here are some of the highlights I noted as it was broadcast:

  • Consume 16,000 pints of milk
  • Average 11.5 years of marriage
  • 4,230 times we have sex
  • 10 average sex partners
  • Produce 3tons of poo
  • 5 buckets of vomit
  • Consume 56 loafs of bread a year
  • Spend £1.5M
  • £512k spent on food
  • £282k spent on tax
  • £236k on leisure
  • Use up 3.5 washing machines
  • Use up 15 computers!
  • Responsible for sending 40 tons of waste to landfill
  • Receive 628 Christmas presents
  • 8 cars each
  • Walks 190 miles a year
    • 15,464 miles in a life time
  • 440,000 miles we drive in a life time
  • 135,950 litres of fuel we use in our car
  • 59 foreign holidays
  • Know 1,700 people
  • 750tons of carbon we produce
  • 148mins of TV per day
  • 8years watching TV in our life time
  • 532 books read
    • There are more households that own 2 cars than 2 novels!
  • 2455 newspapers read (1.5 tons)
    • 24 trees required for that
