The Netherlands in 21 infographics

The Dutch government has released a document called "The Netherlands in 21 infographics", containing facts and figures on the human environment.

It contains visualizations of food production (including fish), the environmental burdens (including on water use) of the current meat consumption trends, energy consumption (with the highest point of some 300 meters the Netherlands is too flat to generate hydro power), and transportation. The document also has several suggestions for change in the current consumption patterns and how this would help in reaching the EU target goals in reduced emissions. In the end, all production, consumption, and transportation will affect water use, and any reduction will leave room to improve in other areas.
