class="content__text" Studies of wetlands, rivers, and streams found that 100% of surface water samples contain at least one or more pesticides at detectable levels. This has a big impact on freshwater ecosystems and 90% of fish sampled contain one or more pesticides at a detectable level. Pesticides and fertilizers used by homeowners, schools, and industrial agriculture impact our everyday life by polluting our water sources. You can help reduce pollution #forwetlands! Stop using pesticides at home, and if you have to use a pesticide or fertilizer, opt for an OMRI Certified Organic one. Shop organic and local as much as you can, and encourage your community to opt for organic land care. The more we advocate for the protection of local wetlands, the healthier our planet becomes. We don't need to reinvent the planet. We need to rewild it. #worldwetlandsday
