Another trip we went on was to New Jersey to see my great cousins. They lived right on a lake. Here, one of my cousins taught me about her special fertilizers. She made it from fish she caught in the lake. I liked her idea. Prior to this, I figured all fertilizers was either made with chemicalized soil or manure. I realized how the fish would work better than the alternatives. She told me that she didn’t want to contaminate the lake. So she used the lake to make her fertilizer.

The persons of these companies have better public speaking skills, and can reach the understanding of the general public better than most
