This week, on the 20th August, we hit Earth Overshoot Day.
This is an approximate date which each year calculates the moment when we have used more natural resources than the planet can re-absorb/reproduce in a year. This means that from now until the end of the year we are using "borrowed" resources from the future.

On Monday 5th August 2013 the first ever laboratory grown burger was put to the test:
"There's some quite intense flavours... It's close to meat... It's not that juicy but the consistency is perfect." This was the response of Hanni Rutzler - the Austrian food researcher who was the first to take a bite of the £215,000 burger. |
