The UK's ecological footprint has been calculated to be 4.72 hectares per person - that's about the size of two international football pitches each (The New Economics Foundation). If every citizen of the planet had a similar footprint, 3 planet earths would be needed.
For 10g of gold nearly 5 tonnes of earth is displaced.
Each household produces nearly 1 tonne of waste per year - that's about the weight of a Smart car.
For every tonne of waste each household produces more than 7 tonnes of waste has been generated through the production cycle - that means each household is responsible for a mass of waste heavier than an African bull elephant each year!

In the ancient world, Alexander the Great was confronted with the seemingly intractable problem of releasing the Gordian Knot. He who did so, it was prophesied, would rule Asia. Unlike so many before him who had failed by using conventional logic and tools (attempting to unpick the knot), he looked at the problem from a different perspective, resolved it quickly (by cutting it through with his sword), and secured his future.
