SAVE WETLANDS!!!!
Wetlands are being polluted by garbage, raw sewage, poisonous chemicals, and recycle.
The only way we can save wetlands is to tell people the importance. Use phosphate free laundry detergent.
Wetlands produce timber, fish, contain floods, and help reduce storm damage. Sometimes they can be a source of drinking water.
