Blog 12 What are at least three ways to prevent soil erosion?

Discussion 12 We have programs to save endangered species and endangered habitats Do we need programs to protect soils? Why or why not?

1. Having rich nutrients in your soil.

I think yes because more and more soil is being endangered. Saying that the soil isnt rich anymore. They should have that.

one would be weather. Disastrous weather can affect population by weather that can kill. Drought can affect lives. Without water, people cant live. The last thing is the same thing for rainfall.

No because citizens should have their right to do whatever they want

What surprised me the most was how much water we use in a life time taking showers and stuff. Also how many hair products we use in all of our life time..

To reduce my footprint I will maybe take less showers. Also drive less and start walking more. And carpool

I think that the best environmentalist that contributed the most is Theodore Roosevelt..
Because of what he contributed like the National Parks and stuff.
Without the National parks the U.S. wouldn't be nice and some animal species wouldn't be living today.
