One thing I learned from the video is how much carbon dioxide we pollute. A message that is worth remembering to me is 1 person can make a huge difference. A wondering I still have is: if we know we're doing this why aren't we stopping now and why haven't we stopped once we figured it out?

I learned the people are discusting. One thing that is worth remembering is that we can all still fix it.

One thing I learned from the video is that one person can make a huge difference, and it causes a big change. I used to think that one person didn't really matter in a huge and diverse situation. A message that is worth remembering is that you can't expect to take out one card out of the deck and expect that the deck with stay put. This means that everything is connected to another thing, therefore if you separate them they will get destroyed like a deck of cards. I still wonder, how will we start to fix the mistakes that are shown? We know what's wrong, and we have so many expectations (We'll do this, we'll do that), but how, and when, will we start?

I learned that people aren't aware of their actions and are damaging our natural ecosystems and are also putting plants and animals at risk of extinction in extreme cases." One small action can make a big difference" is a quote that I can agree with.

I learned that there were five mass extinctions and there could be a sixth one. I think a meaningful quote is 'The meteor killed a lot of different species, and now we're the meteor'. I'm wondering if enough people know about this problem to stop it from happening.

I learned that one person can make a big difference and that people are really terrible when it comes to fishing for sharks, cutting of their fins and throwing them back into the ocean. a quote I remember from the video was something like when you build a house of cards and take one card away, the whole house falls down. humans are not aware of how most of there everyday day actions are actually killing our ecosystems slowy. We need to start taking action in helping our world before there is nothing left.

I learned that a lot of speices are in risk of extinction because of humans, and also I watched the sharks are dying because humans are cutting out their fins. I was too sad about the whales that are using in the sushi restaurant. My quote for the video was ' one person can change the difference. We still have a chance to change it.' I am curious about are they still doing those terrific things to animals even if we showed out with a lot of videos.

1 thing I learned was that 99% of the shark population has been killed! A message I remember was when the Shawn guy said that 1 person can make a difference! I still wonder why a lot of people aren't doing anything about the situation.

One thing I learned today was that sharks have lived on earth before the dinosaurs and have survived 4 times on earth! A phrase remember was that a guy said that if one person starts helping it can change the world. Also for the last question I'm still wondering how the sharks survived 4 meteorites to earth and are still alive today. Well, that's what I think. Bye! :)

One thing I learned is that the shark species has lived for over 400 million years. A phrase to remember is that anyone can make a difference. something I still wonder is how everything was wiped out 4 times except for the sharks. How is that possible? anyway see you all tomorrow. :)

Hi! I learned that we need to help save these animals so they can survive. I also learned that we are doing this sometimes just for pleasure and we should be doing this for our needs not just for pleasure. Something that I remembered is that 1 person can make a difference. I still wonder if we can save the sharks because so many of the are gone. Well, see you all tomorrow! Bye for now...

I learned that we have to make a difference and stop this from happening because soon everything might be extinct. One thing that I will remember is that there is enough time to change this. Also what I thought was really touching was when that one guy helped the Manta Rae. He said that the Manta Rae gave him a look in the eye and new he was trying to help her. I thought that was touching and would be a very cool experience. I wonder if people know that this is happening. For example the shark fins. I wonder if people know that is what they re doing to them.

I learned that 99% of sharks population has been killed. A message worth remembering is 1 person can always make a big difference. I am still wondering how the sharks survived for so long. See you all today.

I learned that Sharks have survived 4 mass extinctions in one of the videos. A quote that I remembered was that 65 million years ago an asteroid hit Earth and killed all of the dinosaurs, and now we are becoming the asteroid to all of the plant and animals. I wondering I still have is if we really are going to have enough time to have everyone help and save all species that are going to become extinct. See you all later,

One thing that I learned was that carbon dioxide is a big polluter but because we don't see it we don't think about it and for that we don't do anything to stop it from polluting the world. The quote that I remember is "when you build a house of cards, and you take one off the whole house could fall down." I am wondering what things us kids can do to stop the sixth extinction from happening? If we do these thing how much will it help? See you all later! :D
