… Gosh, people… This is crazy. What are we doing to help the Earth? Nothin’. Nothin’ at all. 

Today in Science class we learned about symbiosis (animals working together for long-terms) & mutualism (what happens when both animals benefit from symbiosis), as well as parisitism. So, we read all about these aphids and ants (ants showing aphids the way to good food, so as they eat they release their little “aphid juices” that the ant eats) and coral and some other sea plant. All WORKING TOGETHER!!! Making each other happy. 

So, I read that parasites, such as mosquitoes, get good stuff from their hosts, while their hosts itch itch itch at the spot. I figure we’re kinda like parasites, because we go and kill other animals for food, but what do THEY get out of it? NOTHING! Excluding death, of course. 

Speaking of weirdness (weren’t we?), if you go to America, and look at people’s faces, they’re always like: (look sideways) =[       And I went to a place called Guatemala last Summer, and if you said “hi” to them, they would always smile grandly and say it back. But here, if you say “hi” to someone, they look at you like you’re a crazy maniac. Hmm….

You have good points there!!!
Besides being a parasite or having Symbiosis, there is a third way animals (and people!!!) can work together:
It’s called Synergy. If we all could manage to ’synergize’ the world would be a great place to be in.
Synergy means: 1+1=3 (or more)

I love your Blog!!!
