The 90-Day Plan: DAY 16

DAY 16

CHECK YOUR THREADS

Have you ever considered what it takes to make a t-shirt or a pair of jeans? Figure out a way to start wearing your commitment to conservation ON YOUR SLEVE.

The next time you purchase clothing, try to buy organic cotton or make a purchase from a second-hand store. The pesticides and herbicides used to grow cotton are especially gnarley because they are not regulated the same way as pesticides and herbicides used on food crops! With that said, it still impacts our drinking water...


Challenge: What is domoic acid, how does it impact marine life, and what does that have to do with fertilizer application in agriculture? OR What is cyanobacteria and how can it impact your health?
