Such as species in the coral reef, even if we try to prevent plastic and chemicals from killing them, there are still the uneducated that will keep throwing plastic and contaminating ecosystems.]]> 2018-12-05 21:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/melder4/84ex56jee8pi/wish/311615656 https://padlet.com/melder4/84ex56jee8pi/wish/311615666 I believe that there are something’s you can do to slow do the process but I also believe that we can’t control the natural processes that cause instiction! ]]> 2018-12-05 21:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/melder4/84ex56jee8pi/wish/311615666 https://padlet.com/melder4/84ex56jee8pi/wish/311615682 We can't stop extinction, since it's natural, and there probably won't be a significant change in the near future. But, I think that with government collaboration we would be able to instill regulations and higher standards to keep us from hurting each other and the planet. Not to be political but I think this all starts with smart voting, and electing people who care about the ecosystem and our health rather than money]]> 2018-12-05 21:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/melder4/84ex56jee8pi/wish/311615682 https://padlet.com/melder4/84ex56jee8pi/wish/311615701 We have the chance to change the rate things.

We humans want to stay at the top of the food chain. Also with a growing population is a growing need in food, game hunting, pollution, and more.
