Consider the following quote by Arizona State University professor Andrew Smith, commenting on the declining numbers of mammals:

"I think the bottom line is, what kind of a world do you want to leave for your children?"

In a well-written paragraph (or paragraphs), respond to the professor's question. What kind of world would you like today's adults to leave for you? What kind of world would you like to leave for your children? Give reasons to support your response.

(A good submission is clearly written, supported by data from the article and is consistent with known information outside the article. It contains few grammatical errors and has proper form.)
