When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be
scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that
sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that
kills the most people every year is one that you have probably killed yourself many times: the
mosquito.
While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male
mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. They
need this blood to live and produce eggs. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it
transmits a small amount of saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly
<b>disease. The result of the bite can be as minor as an itchy bump or as serious as death. </b>
Because a mosquito can bite many people in the course of its life, it can carry diseases
from one person to another very easily. Two of the most deadly diseases carried by mosquitoes
are malaria and yellow fever. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases
every year. At least 2 million of these people will die from these diseases.
Many scientists are working on safer and better ways to kill mosquitoes, but so far, there
is no sure way to protect everyone in the world from their deadly bites. Mosquito nets can be
placed over beds to protect people against being bitten. These nets help people stay safe at
night, but they do not kill any mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats,
birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where
mosquitoes live might help to cut down the amount of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural
solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or
sprays. Even though these sprays kill mosquitoes, they may also harm other plants or animals.
Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far
more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day
scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.

Plastic bags are used by everybody. Even though they are one of the modern
conveniences that we seem to be unable to do without, they are responsible for causing
pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious resources of the Earth. But, most of us
<b>are blissfully unaware of the repercussions that are occurring and will take place in the</b>
future because of the plastic bags.
Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are
ending up littering the environment. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way
into our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets. If they are burned, they infuse the air with
toxic fumes. About 100,000 animals are killed every year due to these bags. Many animals
ingest plastic bags, mistaking them for food, and therefore, die. And worse, the ingested plastic
<b>bag remains intact even after the death and decomposition of the animal. Thus, it lies around in</b>
the landscape where another victim may ingest it. One of the worst environmental effects is that
they are non-biodegradable. The decomposition takes about 400 years. No one will live so
long to witness the decomposition of plastic!
Petroleum products are diminishing and getting more expensive by the day, since we
have used this non-renewable resource increasingly. To make plastic, about 60-100 million
barrels of oil are needed every year around the world.Petroleum is vital for our modern way of
life. It is necessary for our energy requirements - for our factories, transportation, heating,
lighting, and so on. Without viable alternative sources of energy yet on the horizon, if the
supply of petroleum were to be turned off, it would lead to practically the entire world grinding
to a halt.
So, what can be done? A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and
<b>the shopping. You can keep the bag with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead</b>
of the usual plastic bag. Recycling the bags you already have is another good idea. These can
