4. Air quality
• The amount of pollutants in the air: defines the healthiness of the
atmosphere.
• Air quality can be affected in many ways by surrounding
pollutants.
• Air quality in Wellington is 92 on a scale to 100 (the higher the
number the better the air is). This is based by the number of
pollutants in the air, reported by EPA.
6. AirQuality
Polo Park Garden
The Polo Park garden is located by a road and a bus loop.
This location can affect the garden in a negative way. The
buses used by Polo Park run by diesel fuel which is
comprised of very fine particles of carbon and many toxic
gases. These toxic gases and carbon can affect the growth
of the plants and the quality of the fruit and vegetables
grown in the garden.
9. The goal of water conservation
is to ensure the availability of
water for future generations.

10. Water Conservation
All of the activities, strategies, and rules in charge of the
preservation and management of fresh water is sustainable for
future human generations.
12. Balancing Soil
Fertility The goals of crop
rotation are to help
regulate the fertility
of the soil and to
help scale down the
problem with
soilborne disease
and some soil-
dwelling insects.
Different plants have and require
different nutrients and affect soil
balance in several ways. By planting
the crop in different sites yearly, the
plot where the plant grew will be
able to renew its nutrients from the
preceding year. That will help the
soil keep its balance in nutrients.
Some crops like corn and tomatoes
are heavy feeders that drain all the
nitrogen phosphorus in the soil.
13. Plant Rotation: Disease and Pest Prevention
• It is recommended to do your plant rotation based on plant
families instead of nutrients needed, crops in the same botanical
family suffer from the same pest and disease problem.
• Sometimes it is important to have lengthy rotations to control
the soilborne problems and fungal disease.
• Problems such as club root, lingers in the soil for longer time.
Therefore rotations are not as useful for controlling them.
15. RELATIONSHIPS OF ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY
• Energy and environment is an interdisciplinary study aimed at
natural science.
• A major goal of energy and environment is to act as a forum
for constructive and professional debate between scientists
and technologists.
• Another goal of environment and energy is to include the
informed and environmentally concerned public and their
organizations in debate.
