This is our earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here are some more spheres – representing the carbon dioxide emission produced by foods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nut (brown), corn (yellow), and milk (white). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The size of the sphere is proportional to the carbon emission produced by each type of food per unit mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here comes coffee (coffee) and pork (pink).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, it is beef (red).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The carbon emission produced by consuming beef is abnormal. I remember how shocked I was when I first saw similiar data on a magazine. And now I want to use this sketch to share that feeling with all of you.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question is: how can I make my work more self-explainatory? I want viewers to understand without reading a lot of words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
