      Not to mention the damage we do, when we try to incorporate non-native species to new areas, especially plants.

      Here in SW Colorado, we are battling Tamerisk trees that were brought here as ornamentals, and have taken over our river banks. They have choked other native plants, and suck up so much water that it is harmful to everything else. The irony is that the Nature Conservancy is using chemical herbicides to deal with the problem, adding chemicals to the rivers. What to do?

        I have to agree with TechnologyExpert. It does effect, but like my father always use to say, a man gotta do what he must do. Extremely cruel but others will not stop so it's no use trying to state your opinion.
