The image is an infographic from the UN Environment Assembly that highlights the significant water use involved in producing a traditional hamburger and promotes plant-based alternatives. The title asks, "How much water is in your burger?" and reveals that, on average, a hamburger uses **3,140 liters of water**. The breakdown shows: - 83 liters for 2 slices of bun bread - 408 liters for 3 slices of bacon - 151 liters for 1 slice of cheese - 2,500 liters for the beef patty - 4 liters for 2 slices of tomato - 0.7 liters for 1 leaf of lettuce The infographic then promotes plant-based burgers, which: - Use 75-95% less water - Use 93-95% less land - Cause 87-90% fewer emissions The message encourages a shift towards plant-based diets as a way to preserve natural resources, especially water, while reducing environmental impact.
