    Why is it important to take care of pollinators?

    Pollination is important because it leads to the production of fruits we can eat, and seeds that will create more plants. Pollination begins with flowers. Flowers have male parts that produce very small grains called pollen. Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from one flower to another

    Although the environment sustains human life, it can also cause diseases. Lack of basic necessities is a significant cause of human mortality

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    It is often said that “you can’t feed the world with just organic food.” What is your response to that statement?

    Hemavardhan Reddy's avatar
    Hemavardhan Reddy 10/04/2019 9:55 AM
    Yes, it wouldn't be possible to feed the world with food that's suitable to sell at Whole Foods

    If you really think the economy is more important than the environment, try holding your breath whilst you count your money.
