Ian's essay


Ian my 12 year old son wrote this report to finish off a lesson on ecology and he wanted me to put it on here for him




Today too many people spray their yard for insects and over fertilize their yard. All the chemicals that go in to lawns are extremely bad for wildlife and it's not just for animals, It's bad for people too. Many of the chemicals that go into lawns are cacinogens, meaning they can cause cancer. What people should do is plant native plants. Native plants need less water than exotics. They also provide habitat for many animals, to make a good habitat you need food, water, shelter and places to raise young.
