Should re-wilding species be keystone species? How could re-wilding be made successful?

Re-wilding should be a keystone species, because it's important thats we protect endangered species. We should be able to protect everything we have left on this earth, before its all gone. As an animal lover, I strongly agree to making re-wilding a keystone species. So i hope others agree with me also.

What surprised you most about the waste we create over a lifetime?

What surprised me the most about the waste we create is how much different types of food we will consume in a lifetime. For example we will consume 13,056 pints of ilk, 1.7 tons of pork, 2.3 tons of chicken, 19,826 eggs, 25 pounds of candy, and 4,376 loaves of bread. Which is a lot of food for our tiny little bodies.

What can diet tell us about the organisms that are eating? Give three examples

Well recently in class we got to explore an owl pellet. We got to see the many organisms they get, and how much they truly digest. I got to see that the owl pellet that my partner and i had had eaten a mouse, a shrew, two rats, and two plants.

Would you consider becoming a vegetarian or vegan? Why or why not?

I would not consider ever being a vegetarian or a vegan because I don't believe in the the diet they believe in. Vegetarians believe in a diet only consisting of vegetables, fruits, nuts, and grains. And vegans don't eat anything having to go with animal products. Meat is a very big part of my diet so I cant picture myself being a vegetarian or a vegan.
