I chose Chemicals, Fertilizers, and Pesticides as a topic because I was interested in how they get into water.
Chemicals, Fertilizers, And Pesticides
By: Aubee Jean Lippman
Imagine you're going to a beach. You put all your stuff away in your hotel, and then you gather all your beach things you want to bring, change into your bathing suit, and you’re ready to go. Then, you walk there. You’ve arrived! You walk towards the shore and go farther into the ocean. You put your goggles on, and you dive in. You stop. You see a baby sea otter, dead on the ocean floor. Did you know the otter died because of water pollution from fertilizers and pesticides because they have chemicals in them that can harm living things?
If your parents, your family members, or your any of your friends, use non-eco-friendly fertilizers and pesticides, that’s bad, because when it rains some of it washes down to water sources and can harm any living thing that is in it. This makes that water source polluted because it has chemicals in it. Also, when factories shoot out smoke, it puts chemicals in the air. So if it rains, chemicals come down from the air and fall to the ground, and can wash into nearby water sources. This is bad because if you drink it you can get sick or die.
If you want to help this problem, you can start by using eco-friendly fertilizers and pesticides, picking up trash, writing a letter to the President or the mayor asking for laws to protect water, and much more! In conclusion, that's why you should be careful about what you do with chemicals, fertilizers, and pesticides.
