Algae isn't the only thing affected by fertilizer, sea creatures also swallow the fertilizer, and it hurts their immune system. ]]> 2020-01-08 19:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/429165216 272599 https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/429685722 One good way to prevent this is to use natural fertilizer such as banana peel fertilizer, or seaweed, eggshell, and plenty more.]]> 2020-01-09 19:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/429685722 272599 https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/429692096 when the sun hits the earth it radiates around to warm the earth, but most light reflects of greenhouse gasses and over heats the earth. ]]> 2020-01-09 19:49:27 UTC https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/429692096 272599 https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/429704953 This is a bad thing because its melting the ice caps, which rises the oceans level by six tenths an inch about every decade and this has been going on for about 220 years. Yes, its barley anything and its going to be a while before the earth FLOODS because of this but that isn't the only thing the melting ice caps do.The sea level temperature is rising by  0.13 F every decade and it is starting to increase this decade, I gathered  proof from the image below.]]> 2020-01-09 20:10:26 UTC https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/429704953 272599 https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/429715315 epa.gov, NASA,gov.scott, udel.edu, thesun.co.uk, AR media@youtube]]> 2020-01-09 20:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/429715315 272599 https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/432091207 DDT is an insecticide that harms the environment in various ways.

When DDT gets in the water it is insoluble (unable to denigrate)meaning there is nothing you can do about it. but thankfully it was banned from the US in 1972,yet it wasn't banned everywhere. ]]> 2020-01-16 19:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/432616207 272599 https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/432903217 Cow are the main cause of climate  change because of their gas, though it may sound weird whenever a cow lets its gas out it produces methane which is a greenhouse gas. This is how it works:]]> 2020-01-17 13:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/432903217 272599 https://padlet.com/272599/471w5ti98p9q/wish/435171725 The best way to stop greenhouse gasses is to   reduce,reuse,recycle.Yet this is the best and easiest way to help you could always try something more difficult like planting a tree.
