WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenVoters should care because native plants are the foundation of local environments; they prevent soil erosion and require less water and maintenance than many non-native plants. Since the 1800s, the U.S. has lost over 200 native plant species due to building projects and extreme weather. This bill encourages the use of plants that help prevent the collapse of local wildlife populations, like butterflies and honeybees, which are vital for American agriculture.
