Default Re: Bananas And Oil

Hopefully you won't get a huge amount of oil coming your way Tommy. Oil contaminates the plants by coating the roots and leaves to stop gas exchange and block the uptake of nutrients. When oil soaks into the soil, it quickly lowers the amount of nitrogen available to plants, and once the nitrogen is tied up, the plants die.

It really is a shame to see the environment destroyed by ignorant human activity. There have been so many man made disasters such as oil spills and deforestation, that people don't get the picture that we are essentially killing ourselves.
