At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Learn About Local Environmental Justice ConcernsWho is most affected by environmental degration and/or environmental irresponsiblity in your community? How are they affected?
Angela M. 10/22/2018 11:31 AMUnfortunately, I believe it's people with lower income that do not have the time to learn about the environmental issues occurring in their community. Thus, it could get to a very bad point before the effects are visible and remediation might be too late. -
