Ladies and gentlemen of the council, thank you for the opportunity to speak to you this evening. Soil conservation affects us all. Soil helps to control water as it runs over the land, and it helps to filter water as it seeps into the ground. It protects biodiversity by providing a home for many plants and animals, and it helps to cycle nutrients in the environment. As you consider the options for the ground in front of our new city hall, please keep in mind that bare soil is subject to serious erosion. While mulch can provide some protection from erosion, the best option would be to have many native grass and bushes in the soil. The roots of the plants help hold the soil in place so that it doesn't erode. I'm asking you to make the decision to protect our soil and prevent erosion.
Fill in the blanks.
