Sustainability of Plants
We use plants as:
1. Food
2. Fibre – to make clothing, furniture, etc.
3. Medications
Now we need to look at the implications of the use of plants. Have you ever thought about…?
1. Whether certain methods of growing plants are more environmentally friendly than others?
2. The effects of herbicides and pesticides on the environment, consumers and agriculture?
3. The benefits and detriments of selected breeding (ex. GMO’s)?
4. How environmental management, such as monocultural land use, effects sustainability of agricultural and environmental resources?
It’s also possible that you’re confused and are not fully sure what each of these points is talking about – that’s okay! You’re going to learn something!
In this project, you will choose one of Topics 1-4 listed above to research. You must present your information to the class in a gallery walk. You may choose to make a PowerPoint, poster, comic book, etc. On the day of presentations, we will place your projects around the room and the class will walk around reading each other’s projects, much like if you were in a museum or art gallery walking around viewing the masterpieces!
