How is the health of the #BalticSea connected to the food on your plate? 🌾🐮🏘⠀ ⠀ Bad fertilization and manure storage techniques are reasons for fertilizer runoff into the water💧! And these nutrients feed the algae, causing “algae bloom” (or #eutrophication).⠀ ⠀ ⚠️ Almost the entire Baltic Sea is affected by it so we need to reduce our consumptions and promote sustainable agriculture: https://buff.ly/2xez4Uq⠀ ⠀ Let´s turn green water into blue! 🌊⠀ #KeepTheBalticBlue #OurBlueLung
