Two entrepreneurs are making waves by creating skateboards out of fishing nets discarded in the waters off Chile around 640,000 fishing nets clog up the oceans around us and that is only a 1/10th of the garbage. Many many people helped by picking up trash and donating money towards this. they took fishing nets and made them into plastic beeds and were created as a mold for a longboard and they sold out very quickly because these boards if they keep being made it could put a big helpful environmental impact around us!

This site also discussed the process of solarization. However, the site was centered more on the destruction of pests in the soil. I believe, though, that the same procedures used for extinguishing the pests could be used on seeds. One idea that intrigued me was the idea that a small container can be solarized, with plastic tarp on top, as I didn't really think of using a small container to solarize plants. As my plot of soil with the parsnip plant is very small, I don't think actually solarizing it would do anything, but as a possible alternative to my procedure of baking the seeds, if I had more time I could have solarized them in a small container. I could still do that, as a back-up to my procedure, with the remaining soil and seeds, and see how it affects the seeds, if I have sufficient time. Aside from this small bit of information, and a repeat of the instructions of how to do solarization of your own, I don't think I will use this site very often. The only good information it had was the information mentioned above. However, it is also a reliable educational source, and as such, it will most likely contain reliable information, as compared to a non-educational site.
