  1. Environmental Products of Biotechnology By: Hannah Beyer(: 6th period

  2. Enviro-Pig • Enviro-Pig is a genetically modified pig that’s able to digest phosphorus • The purpose of the enviro-pig is so that when they use the pig manure to put in land areas, there isn’t much phosphorus that can lead into streams and rivers. • Pro- Reduces feed costs and water pollution • Con- The beginning cost for farmers will be high.  Enviro-Pigs(:

  3. Biodiesel (Biofuel) • Biodiesel is a clean burning alternate fuel made from renewable resources. • People use biodiesel because it is better for the environment. • Pro: It is better for the environment. • Con: If not used correctly it could increase emissions and could lose lots of biodiversity. Biodiesel sunflower(:

  4. Composting :D • Composting is nature’s process of recycling decomposed materials into rich soil. • The purpose of composting is to make rich soil in less time the it would take naturally. • Pro: Takes less time than naturally. • Con: The time and materials it requires.

  5. Biodegradable products • Something that is able to be broken down into its constituent natural elements and be absorbed by the environment. • Biodegradable products break down after time and become part of the earth again. • Pro: You don’t have to throw away banana peels and such, you can let them turn back into soil. • Con: Isn’t always safe for people

  6. Plastic Products made from Corn • Plastic products that are made from corn. • The purpose of plastic products made from corn is so that we have things we can use that are also biodegradable. • Pro: They come from renewable resources. • Con: Most of the corn used is genetically modified.
