This time lapse video by Stephen Wilkes, an American photographer, depicts a landscape of Wal-Mart in 24 hours. The most striking part of the video I noticed is that Wal-Mart leaves lights on 24 hours 7 days a week like several other stores across the country. This scene represents an example of how much fossil fuel we’re wasting everyday, especially during the time when there is a VERY LITTLE number of people.
