En secret, dans la voiture ou sur des serviettes de table, nous le faisons tous. Et pour être franc, c’est très satisfaisant.
A escondidas, en el coche o en servilletas, todos lo hacemos, pero nuestra nariz trabaja horas extras para mantenernos sanos, así que no se lo pongamos más difícil metiendo nuestros sucios dedos ahí dentro.
In secret, in the car or on napkins, we all do it. And truth be told, it is so satisfying.
When jetting off on holiday, we rarely give a second thought to what microbes we might be taking with us. But humans spread trillions of bacteria around the globe, potentially harming ecosystems’ balance.
Unless we do something about about antibiotic pollution in the world’s waterways, the next trip you take to the coast for a seafood dinner just might be your last.
Science fiction has long warned of technology taking over the world. We’re increasingly connected to a digital world that’s growing, and more automated. So what if it starts to evolve?
Human activities have altered whole ecosystems with declines in species diversity, extinctions and the introduction of weeds and pests. But it’s not just the outside world we’re harming.
Universities’ pursuit of stable income streams means they are corrupting the reason they exist in the first place.
We are only beginning to recognise the growing problem of antibiotics polluting our environment, and the serious repercussions it has for health.
