County could ban urban phosphorus
(MI) Battle Creek Enquirer – A countywide ban on phosphorus use on lawns would prevent unwanted algae growth within lakes and streams, said Christine Kosmowski and Cheryl Vosburg, representatives of the Lake Allegan/Kalamazoo River Watershed TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) Implementation Committee.
Excessive algae chokes waterways by absorbing the oxygen that other plants and animals need to maintain a balanced ecosystem. It crowds out sporting fish, such as bass and trout, while making the water murky and clogged with weeds, Kosmowski said. More
Hello,
I’m a seventh grader, attending Hmong American Peace Acadmet Ltd. I am wondering what can really prevent algae growth in the Great Lakes.
My seventh grade class and I are having a debate on the Great Lakes. Our essential question is ‘Can our Great Lakes be saved, or is it too late?’ I’m a “Booster” so I’m saying ‘Yes we can save our Great Lakes.’
It’s honestly very hard to find the correct information. I’m hoping you all can help the Boosters win this case. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment. If there are any questions please with no hesitation please email me at shinyangy97@hotmail.com.
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Sandy Yang
