        One of the forms of harm to environment is pollution. A form of pollution is water pollution is toxic chemicals in the skirts of water. Water pollution is not only a problem within the environment but a problem to people and animals. More than 50% of the water pollution come from industrial plants. Water pollution also occurs when rainfall runs down on the grass and the toxins from the mulch into the sewer it contaminates the water. People also put toxins into the water with oil, pills, and other paint, and toothpaste down drains purposely and unknowingly.

Environmental observation:
Today I went out to do a field study with my Environmental Studies class and we identified many plants and insects (some are shown in video). We saw a gellow dragonfly, grass, a paper wasp, red wasp, and pine sap. Some of the plants that are in the picture above are the leaflets, leaflets 3 with coarse teeth, and white ash. We had so much fun learning and identifying every section of the field study square we were assigned to.
