Agriculture
agricultural land covers roughly half of the entire habitable surface of earth. Many environments we today consider natural have been heavily changed by agricultural practices and have little to no semblance to their original state.
Extraction
our lives are sustained by a constant process of extraction to which we are often times oblivious. Whether it is minerals, energy or building materials we extract, all these activities are essential to our livelihoods.
Transport
one of humanity great technological achievements is mechanized transport. Trains, cars and airplanes have reshaped what it means to be human in ways we, at times, fail to appreciate fully. The infrastructure we have built to support our growing desire to move people and goods span continents, and some are even visible from space.
