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.

Which environmentalist do you feel made the greatest contribution to environmental science today? Why?
In my opinion I think that Franklin Delano Roosevelt made me feel that he has done great accomplishments towards the environment. He has done many things including establishing the WPA, CCC, AND TVA. These programs employed men to plant trees, build roads and paths on the national parks and controlled flooding. He allowed many people to get easy job to hat least have a little bit of money in their pockets.

based upon Ch 1 where do you think humans are having the most impact? Why?
Based on reading chapter one in my opinion i think that humans are having the most impact on the environment because with all this new technology we are using so many new things. Like brand new cars that are making us use more gas and letting air pollution. Which is causing more global warming. And the population of humans is causing more harm to the environment because the are many people living in poverty, and were being to use more resources.

Define and give examples of order, randomness and complexity
Order is when everything is in its place, and when it's easy to find. Some examples of order are like a binder that is very near and that has tabs to separate the different classes, subjects, etc. A room can be an organized, and so can a locker, and many other things. Randomness is when there is no pattern or a reason to certain thing. Most of the time there is a probability if something happening. An example of randomness is a dice, because you never know what number you will roll. Complexity is when something seems to be very complex and impossible to do. An example of complexity is when play a game and there is one very strict rule that you cannot break.
