Name some of the human activities impacting the health of water systems, both locally (your watershed) and globally (freshwater and oceans). What can you do to improve the health of water systems?
Landon Miller 4/23/2019 10:26 AM
Some of the impacting activities are hiking around the mountains. This impacts the water because it causes the flow lines to get stepped on and altered. The way that I can improve this is by when I go hiking only sticking to the trail.

Landon Miller 4/23/2019 10:24 AM
The way that I could incorporate the "R's" into my life is by reusing paper from the printer. The way that this would make me feel is that it would make me happy because I'm saving the environment.
