How is the Problem Formed? The main reason that there is a problem is because we dispose of items in the wrong way. If you want to get rid of weeds, what do you do? Go to the garage and get some motor oil and pour it on the weeds, right? Well, guess what your wrong! Never do that. If you do the motor oil can get in your drinking water. Before you know it you might be in the hospital or worse. So if you are going to put oil on your weeds, you might as well just drink the oil bottle, because you will be just going to drinking the oil from your tap. |
