Motor Boats

Many people have been on boats before, usually people ride boats with motors. Motor boats are bad for water. Motor boats depend on oil, so when a motor boat drives across a river the oil from the boat goes in to our waterways. So if you ever go on a boat ride or get a boat, don't choose a motor boat. This was inspired by a field trip to the barge in redhook.
