      I think it’d be great to live in a world with as little pollution as possible. It’d be healthier for us, and much better for the environment and the other creatures we share it with.

      I do definitely worry about species that are becoming extinct. I feel particularly sad about animals like orangutans, which are such close relatives of ours, and they’re almost gone. I think it’ll be really sad if I have kids, and animals like that aren’t around to show them.

      Is this something that you worry about?

      The other reason I think it’s worrying is that other animals play really important roles in the world. Like bees which help plants to reproduce, or fish which are food for penguins, whales, seals and other animals. Everything is really connected, so if one species dies out it can have lots of other consequences.
