Earth's Supply of Resources: How Much is Left?25:33Earth's Supply of Resources: How Much is Left?Humanity's lifeblood water is increasingly at risk around the world due to vampiric overconsumption and overdevelopment; that's the language used in the UN report. Most of us thought there's a lot of sand, so we've been using it like water or like air like it's never going to run out. There are places that have already lost all of their topsoil.

Superbugs are especially dangerous for children because young people’s natural immune systems are not yet fully developed. Antimicrobial resistant superbugs make it increasingly difficult to control even common infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when the bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that cause the infectious diseases mutate over time and become resistant to the existing drugs. AMR makes infections much harder to treat while increasing the risk of spreading disease, and even death.AntimiPlanéta Zem: Náš láskyplný domov2023-08-21 348 Zobrazenia31396p720p1080p2023-08-21Planéta Zem: Náš láskyplný domov Harvesting Rain: A Sustainable Water Solution22:23Harvesting Rain: A Sustainable Water SolutionOn today’s program we’ll examine the benefits of rainwater harvesting and methods for collecting rainwater.
