O hambúrguer barato e a biosfera — Caltech / UEA 2023 (simulado 2025)
If you are in a major city anywhere in the world, it is probably quite easy to grab a cheap hamburger from a nearby fast-food restaurant. But what you may not realize is that the meat in that cheap burger can actually illustrate a grand narrative about how humans have shaped the planet. From the land used to raise cattle for beef consumption, to the water used to feed those cattle, to the fuel used to transport the beef all over the world, the human progress that enables us to easily buy a burger — and, for that matter, hop on a plane, charge our phones, and take part in the multitude of activities that make up our everyday experiences — has changed the biosphere.
