Free For All – Environmental Infographics

A good infographic does not even requires words sometimes as in the example of, “The Life Cycle of a Leaf.”

Often times a picture is truly worth a thousand words; and I think this collection of environmental infographics is proof that’s true. This online collection has been created by the talented pool of designers at Visual.ly is a team of graphic designers who can be hired to make impactful infographics for any topic and the quality of their work is apparent. Several of my favorites are:

• Fish Pharm–which is a rather disturbing look at the amount of pharmaceuticals in the Chicago River
• The Life Cycle of a Leaf–which is a simple but powerful view of (well) the life and death of a leaf
• Green Machines?–which shows just how much power Americans consume
• Global Carbon Footprint–which is an eye opening view of the world’s biggest carbon polluters

Until my next edition of Free For All, happy hunting for free geospatial goodies!
