They do, a way they can pollute the ecosystem is by leftover fertilizers, pesticides, and excess nutrients. This project will mostly be based off these reasons and why they're so bad. ]]> 2016-12-02 14:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylasweatt/b36wi5gzknbi/wish/141393890 kaylasweatt https://padlet.com/kaylasweatt/b36wi5gzknbi/wish/142285528 Farm pollution mostly happens to most farms out there, farms, of course, don't intend to do this. ]]> 2016-12-07 14:17:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylasweatt/b36wi5gzknbi/wish/142285528 kaylasweatt https://padlet.com/kaylasweatt/b36wi5gzknbi/wish/142287715 Many things can cause pollution in farms, such as burning crops to contaminated water. Fertilizers and pesticides help the crops grow and be healthy, however some of the time they both don't wash away, sprays could seep into the soil and get inside the crops and pollute water in nearby lakes or water supplies. The fertilizer that polluted the water can spread excess nutrients. The excess nutrients boosts the growth of algae, when the algae grows it can break down a type of oxygen (dissolved oxygen) that water mammals need to live, with little to no dissolved oxygen, water wildlife die out such as fish, crabs snails, ect. in which can really affect the ecosystem.]]> 2016-12-07 14:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylasweatt/b36wi5gzknbi/wish/142287715 kaylasweatt https://padlet.com/kaylasweatt/b36wi5gzknbi/wish/142294588 http://imgur.com/a/cxLzv - This graph shows how many pesticides are located in an water supply]]> 2016-12-07 14:41:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylasweatt/b36wi5gzknbi/wish/142294588 kaylasweatt https://padlet.com/kaylasweatt/b36wi5gzknbi/wish/142806644 Environmental-related problems could have a big toll on us, if we don't fix this the food we eat tomorrow could have pesticides in it in which could really be bad for you and the farm. We could start using less pesticides, while this topic was researched it was found out that the problem was mostly pesticides and fertilizers in water supplies, so if we were to add the right amount of fertilizers and pesticides we could be less at risk.]]> 2016-12-09 14:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylasweatt/b36wi5gzknbi/wish/142806644
