"Fertilizer Pollution Must Stop
When most people picture China as a polluting giant, the image of smoke-spewing coal plants comes to mind (that, and the statistic that a new coal-fired power plant opens every day in China). But the truth is that the majority of China's pollution comes from agriculture--and that the excessive use of chemical fertilizers have become a huge problem. A new report finds that Chinese farmers used a stunning 40% more fertilizer than necessary, resulting in 10 million tons being discharged into China's water. The report urges China to cut its fertilizer use by at least 50%."
