POLLUTION:  It's everywhere, and it's mostly our fault.  According to a household survey done in 2013, common household pollutants are newspapers and Styrofoam, which doesn't disintegrate!  The number one pollutant is surprisingly, nutrients.  Major sources of nutrients include runoff of fertilizers and animal wastes from farms, cities, and sewage treatment plants.  The two most common nutrient polluters are nitrogen and phosphorus.
