Many people use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides to keep green grass in their lawns and parks, but these fertilizers and pesticides are toxic to animals! When it rains, these chemicals wash away and end up in our freshwaters, harming plants and animals. Gardens can help trap runoff and create a habitat for plants and animals in your backyard. Making sure to plant some native plants and avoid using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides will ensure that your garden helps freshwaters even more. <\/p>\n\t<h2>Relevant United Nations<\/h2>\n<h2>Sustainable Development Goals<\/h2>\n<p>The United Nations\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/sustainable-development-goals\/\">Sustainable Development Goals<\/a>\u00a0(UN SDG\u2019s) 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.
