Some animals like dinosaurs seem awesome yet are extinct others like cockroaches seem to be everywhere. If some animals and plants are individually stronger why is it weaker animals and plants thrive?
Every prey has it's predator and every predator has it's prey. All animals have a weakness no matter how strong it may be; it also depends on the situation they're in, their luck and survival of the fittest.

Blog 003 | Endangered Species!
What is an endangered species that you think we need to save?
We need to save our ocean animals which include the great white sharks. Although they are protected in some areas, international adequate protection is not available and people continue to hunt them for their teeth and haws which are sold on the black market. Great whites are now considered vulnerable because of the overfishing in certain areas. Link: http://www.oceana.org/sharks/about-sharks/species-profiles/great-white/

Blog 002 | Chaos, Order, and Complexity
Define and explain the differences between chaotic, orderly and complex. Give an example of each.
Chaos is the opposite of orderly, it is based on great disorder and confusion whereas orderly means to be arranged in sequence accordingly. Complexity can be based on chaos or order, however, complexity is characterized by an intricate arrangement of parts.
World population may be characterized by chaotic; DNA and blood cell configuration may be described as orderly as well as complex.
Blog 001 | Environmental Science & Other Sciences
How is environmental science different from other science like biology and chemistry? (Hint: think of the chaos theory and systems.)Environmental science is actually: biology + ecology + geology + chemistry + geography + physics + economics + sociology + cultural anthropology +natural resources management +agriculture + engineering + law + politics + ethics combined; while biology is only about "the science of life or living matter in all its forms and phenomena..." and chemistry is generally about "the science that deals with the composition and properties of substances and various elementary forms of matter."
