One of the greatest threats to survival of our ecosystem is the introduction of non native plants and animals to our ecology now please tell me what can be done with out using "things" that are toxic?

Box turtles, wood thrushes, native pollinators, monarchs, and millions of other building blocks to the complex and fundamentally important native supportive system are at risk of going extinct... we can not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
