2. Pollution. Industry and agriculture are polluting water sources with chemicals and waste.
3. Overuse. Groundwater is being pumped out faster than it can be replenished. Rivers are
being drained dry.
4. Climate change. Changing weather patterns mean less rainfall in some places and more
flooding in others.
5. Lack of infrastructure. Many developing countries do not have proper sanitation or

This document discusses unusual photos and enjoying every day. It recommends living each day with enjoyment by focusing on appreciating life's simple pleasures and beauty that can be found in unexpected everyday moments and seemingly mundane things if one looks closely enough.
The document discusses the passive voice in Spanish. It provides examples of how to form the present simple and past simple passive voice using ser/estar and the past participle. It notes that the passive voice is used when the agent performing the action is unknown or unimportant. It also gives examples of using "por" to specify the agent.
The document lists and briefly describes various unusual landscapes from around the world, including the Wave rock formation in Arizona, the tessellated pavement in Tasmania, the White Desert in Egypt, and the Bungle Bungles rock formation in Western Australia. It provides short 1-2 sentence descriptions of over 20 unique geological formations and landscapes on every continent except Antarctica.

Erin RobotGrrl discusses using apps to interact with Arduino projects. Apps for Arduino provides a simple framework that allows Arduino hardware to work with computers and iOS devices through software. The apps are open source and action-based rather than pin-based. RobotGrrl also describes her educational robotic pet project called RoboBrrd, which uses lasercut parts, an Arduino brain board, and interactive software to teach programming and electrical concepts to students ages 10-16.
