    The book Dirt: the Erosion of Civilizations, by David R. Montgomery is both entertaining, and an informative read. He expresses how soil is one of the most underappreciated resources, and how humans over time have been a prime factor of soil degradation. This book primarily talks about how human infiltration has gradually continued to raise the rate of soil degradation through deforestation, agriculture, poor erosion control, and disinterest in the subject presented. Agricultural soil loss is not because humanity farms but arises from how they farm. Montgomery is a geomorphologist who studies how topography evolves, and how landscapes change throughout geologic time.…

    Additionally, bioremediation is the ability to use naturally occurring microbes to concentrate and digest contaminants present in water. These organisms include bacteria, fungi and algae, and they are able to convert the toxic species to water and other gases, such as carbon dioxide. Phytoremediation is additionally helpful in removing contaminated soil from water. It is cost effective and simple to put into practice. Bioremediation and phytoremediation are environmentally adaptable and cost-effective, and since Iona Creek is not large, it makes it a suitable method for pollution…
