On page 124, Elizabeth Kolbert quotes a paper by two scientists who say that continuing along our current environmental path "is likely to leave a legacy of the Anthropocene as one of the most notable, if not cataclysmic events in the history of our planet."
In 300-400 words, choose two specific examples from these chapters that provide evidence for this quote. Each example could relate to how the travels, consumption and lifestyle of human beings affect ecosystems today, or could contrast how previous extinctions in geologic history are similar or different than the current sixth extinction. Pick the two examples that struck you the most while you read, and explain each as if you were writing for an audience that hasn't already read the book.
