Prompt: Upto 15% of materials delivered to build sites are not used.
Concept: This material is either reused on other construction sites, saved for future use, or becomes garbage. Some of it is also stolen and resold at greater costs to sellers.

Prompt: 75% of the habitable land is occupied by livestock.
Concept: In the economic sector agriculture and livestock contributes approximately 24% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover the land it takes/consumes isn't even being used efficiently which could help accommodate the starving and the homeless. Choulou de zhenxiang is an attempt to visually represent these issues.
