One way that people are starting to prevent this runoff is by planting buffer zones, or wide strips of native trees and plants, along river banks and lake shores. These buffer zones help trap and filter this harmful runoff before it reaches the water. As a bonus, planting buffer zones can also prevent bank erosion since plant and tree roots help to hold soil in place. If your backyard, school or community park sits next to any body of water, you can plant a buffer zone to help improve your species\u2019 ecosystem. <\/p>\n\t<h2>Relevant United Nations<br \/>\nSustainable Development Goals<\/h2>\nThe United Nations\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/sustainable-development-goals\/\">Sustainable Development Goals<\/a>\u00a0 (UN SDG&#8217;s) are a list of projects and actions that all countries can take on to improve their economies and reduce poverty while also protecting the planet.<br \/>\nIf you choose this project for your Quest, you will help address climate change through the goals listed below:\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/water-and-sanitation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/herofortheplanet.org\/mnquest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/08\/E_SDG-goals_icons-individual-rgb-06.png\" alt=\"E_SDG goals_icons-individual-rgb-06\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1536\" width=\"1536\" title=\"E_SDG goals_icons-individual-rgb-06\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/cities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/herofortheplanet.org\/mnquest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/08\/E_SDG-goals_icons-individual-rgb-11.png\" alt=\"E_SDG goals_icons-individual-rgb-11\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1536\" width=\"1536\" title=\"E_SDG goals_icons-individual-rgb-11\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/sustainable-consumption-production\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/herofortheplanet.org\/mnquest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/08\/E_SDG-goals_icons-individual-rgb-12.png\" alt=\"E_SDG goals_icons-individual-rgb-12\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1536\" width=\"1536\" title=\"E_SDG goals_icons-individual-rgb-12\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/oceans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/herofortheplanet.org\/mnquest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/08\/E_SDG-goals_icons-individual-rgb-14.png\" alt=\"E_SDG goals_icons-individual-rgb-14\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1536\" width=\"1536\" title=\"E_SDG goals_icons-individual-rgb-14\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/biodiversity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/herofortheplanet.org\/mnquest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/08\/E_SDG-goals_icons-individual-rgb-15.png\" alt=\"E_SDG goals_icons-individual-rgb-15\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1536\" width=\"1536\" title=\"E_SDG goals_icons-individual-rgb-15\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<h2>Relevant Drawdown Solutions<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drawdown.org\/solutions\">Drawdown Solutions<\/a> are a list of actions and technologies that draw down carbon from the atmosphere and benefit people and communities at the same time.
