Concrete & Weeds: Ecology Lost and Found
is the overbuilding of suburbia threatening the survival of the planet? are concrete flow lines
a good substitute for small creeks.
can native weed species help protect the suburban environment from water and air-borne pollution?
should municipalities be guided by BMP's (best management practices) ?

once a suburban watershed is degraded it is quite easy for developers to further destroy
any hope of salvaging whats left. " Hey, it was a crumbing little silted in nasty ditch... " more sidewalks more pavement ,more curbing more impervious concrete leaves ground water re-charge completely out of the loop..
what are you going to drink now?
i need info on the great arctic explorers. any help is appreciated
