1. What interaction with an animal and/or nature in your life has had the biggest impact on you?

When I was playing baseball with my friends we lost the ball. Then I went to get it and a dog bit me in the arm.

2. Did you have a favorite place in the great outdoors during your childhood?

My favorite place was the park by my Grandpa’s house

Now? Now I like to go in my backyard and play in the grass

3. As a former zookeeper, I would love to know what your favorite animal is and why?

I love puppies. Only because their eyes are always big and sad but it is so cute

4. What do you think is the greatest environmental challenge facing us now, and what do you think will be the greatest challenge in the future?

Now our problem is global warming. In the future it will be even worse to the earth.

5. If you could give one piece of advice regarding the environment and our natural resources, what would it be?

I would tell adults not to throw their cigarettes on the grass and trees. They can start a huge fire.
