AIR QUALITY1

Air quality

• The amount of pollutants in the air: defines the healthiness of the atmosphere.

• Air quality can be affected in many ways by surrounding pollutants.

• Air quality in Wellington is 92 on a scale to 100 (the higher the number the better the air is). This is based by the number of pollutants in the air, reported by EPA.

yPolo Park Garden

The Polo Park garden is located by a road and a bus loop. This location can affect the garden in a negative way. The buses used by Polo Park run by diesel fuel which is comprised of very fine particles of carbon and many toxic gases. These toxic gases and carbon can affect the growth of the plants and the quality of the fruit and vegetables grown in the garden.

2 WATER CONSERVATION

Water Conservation Cycle

The goal of water conservation is to ensure the availability of water for future generations.

Water Conservation

All of the activities, strategies, and rules in charge of the preservation and management of fresh water is sustainable for future human generations.

3 PLANT ROTATION

Balancing Soil Fertility The goals of crop

rotation are to help regulate the fertility of the soil and to help scale down the problem with soilborne disease and some soil-dwelling insects.

Different plants have and require different nutrients and affect soil balance in several ways. By planting the crop in different sites yearly, the plot where the plant grew will be able to renew its nutrients from the preceding year. That will help the soil keep its balance in nutrients. Some crops like corn and tomatoes are heavy feeders that drain all the nitrogen phosphorus in the soil.

Plant Rotation: Disease and Pest Prevention

• It is recommended to do your plant rotation based on plant families instead of nutrients needed, crops in the same botanical family suffer from the same pest and disease problem.

• Sometimes it is important to have lengthy rotations to control the soilborne problems and fungal disease.

• Problems such as club root, lingers in the soil for longer time. Therefore rotations are not as useful for controlling them.

3 RELATIONSHIPS OF ENVIORNMENT AND ENERGY

RELATIONSHIPS OF ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY

• Energy and environment is an interdisciplinary study aimed at natural science.

• A major goal of energy and environment is to act as a forum for constructive and professional debate between scientists and technologists.

• Another goal of environment and energy is to include the

informed and environmentally concerned public and their organizations in debate.
