We are banning pesticides, and replacing them with IPM for two reasons. First of all, it will prevent the water runoff from carrying and abundant amount of pesticides into our water sources. Secondly, they are a part of agriculture, and we need to replace pesticides with something else. This law would be a major contribution to our environment, and it is beneficial to all of us. It will prevent the dying of animal and plant species, and prevent humans from getting sick from contaminated water.
Pollutants ruin the beauty of healthy, and clean water habitats.
The United States spends millions of dollars to restore and protect areas damaged by nonpoint source pollutants each year. Of course there will be costs to fix the problem, but we won't need to spend money if there isn't a problem. In conclusion, this law would be better for everyone to help keep a clean and safe environment. 3rd Leslee Dean Click on winner's name to view the essay. Ohio State Bar Association.
