Elements - Phosphorus (P)
Phosphorus is essential for life. Our crops would not grow without phosphate fertiliser. So should we worry that we may be frittering the stuff away? Or that most of the world's remaining reserves are controlled by one country? Or that our phosphorus-rich waste may be asphyxiating fish? The possible solution to these problems stinks.
