I’m performing an experiment in which used tire chemicals will be included in the subject plants water, and was wondering what plants would easily die from pollution.
Also, should I demonstrate this by planting a seed and watering it with only the poluted water, or use the water on an adult plant and look for an adverse reaction?

At my local university, they just finished constructing the campus’ first "green" building. It has all the common items with solar panels for heating, rainwater collection bin, etc. However, the building features plants growing on the roof. How is this considered "green"? What purpose does that serve?

I can tell already there is going to be a drought situation in California for sure…I want to know how I can reduce water and go green? I really want to help my state any ideas?

Weve been told for years to recycle but ive done research that proves its a bad Idea. And it cost 5 times more than garbage 1 ton of trash cost 12 dollars with recyling cost 64 dollars a ton pluss the polution of tansporting out of the local area to the factory and most of what you get is junk because you can make new plastic paper and other stuff for half of what the recycling plants charge i herd its good to reyuse alminum because it is in high demand right now . aI feel it is just pouint less bissey work the goverment does to keep people happy because half of it get thrown away any ways. And it also cost tax payers Billions of dollars every year
