What can we do to change?
To Preserve the ocean and wildlife for future generations?
- Stop using lawn fertilizers
- Go Organic: Organic food is free of pesticides that destroy the environment.
- Use less plastic and more compostable materials such as wood, glass, bamboo etc.
The Tampa Bay has once again been hit by an environmental disaster and our habits (using fertilizers on our lawns) and buying food and drinks that were grown with fertilizers are the key reason these things continue to happen. If there was no market for fertilizers this plant would not exist to even spill into the ocean. We can do better.
Here are some pictures from Florida’s Red Tide:
