Blog #8 Should re-wilding species be keystone species? How could re-wilding be made successful?

I think re-wilding species is not a good idea. I think the rewilding of keystone species is very important. Without keystone species, we would not have the animals that we have today. Keystone species help to support the ecosystem of which they are a part of. I think the success of re-wilding is up to the humans who destroy the environment. Destroying trees and other natural environments for land is not going to help re-wilding at all. A good example is the prairie dog. If they become extinct, all the species that rely on them for food are going to become extinct as well, unless they adapt.

Blog #7: What surprised you most about the waste we create over a lifetime?

The thing that surprised me about the waste we create over a lifetime is the amount. It surprised me that we produce so much material, but it takes very long for it to decompose. A solution for this problem, is to make products with materials that are recyclable. If there are products that have cannot be recycled, we should use less of it and reuse it as much as possible

Diet can tell us about the organisms that we are eating by the nutrients we take in. Depending on the diet we have, shows on our appearance. If we are unhealthy, our physical performance and our discolored face can show that we are unhealthy.
If and owl eats a mouse. And poops out a pellet we are able to see the proteins that it took in by its pellets or droppings. Bears are healthy because they eat a lot of fish, and fish have a lot of protein.

Blog #5 Would you consider becoming a vegetarian or vegan? Why or why not?

I would consider becoming a vegetarian because its much i think its good to not eat meat. Since meat has a lot of fat and nasty things in it, it would be better to stay away from it. If you eat a lot of vegetables, you can have clear skin and that is what I prefer. Being a vegan is to much for me. I like dairy products so I like being a vegetarian much more.
