As citizens we can find a way to help. If you had a millon dollars would you use it to help America become a better nation?

This water is led to a hydroponic system where the by-products from the aquaculture are filtered out by the plants as vital nutrients‚ after which the cleansed water is recirculated back to the animals. The term aquaponics is a portmanteau of the terms aquaculture and hydroponic. That’s why we would like to introduce
