Your Effect on Water School/program name Date

Background Information (for facilitator) Humans live in the midst of many ecosystems, yet often behave as though their activities have no effect on these systems. Humans are very much connected to the natural world around them and are ultimately affected by every action they take that harms their environment. The harm may not be immediate in space or time, but hurting the environment will result in harmful consequences for humans at some point in the longer term. This is because all organisms—including humans—are interconnected. Anything that destroys the survivability of one organism in an ecosystem also threatens the other organisms in that ecosystem. Pollutants can have drastic effects on ecosystems, and often it is the substances people find useful, such as fertilizers, that wreak the most havoc on the natural environment. Toxic substances, such as pesticides and oil spills, are well known as pollutants, and the harm they cause is well understood. Yet humans do not always consider the effect of residential and agricultural fertilizer runoff on local lakes and streams. Even the products used on lawns can negatively impact the environment. Excess fertilizer, washed into storm drains and carried to local lakes, can cause an overproduction of plant life, unbalancing the aquatic ecosystem and endangering its creatures.
