Crickets, they are so noisy and quick they are pretty scary; but have you ever considered eating them. Even though crickets can come off as pretty disgusting they can be very nutritious for the students growth, and helpful for the environment. Now you might be saying why go through the trouble of making cricket meals or snacks, when you can get a lot tastier foods from the store. However crickets are very cheap and aren’t that hard to find at stores near you, this has been helping the switch for other schools a lot easier.

For many individuals, skateboarding is an exciting and fun activity to participate in. Both children and adults have incorporated the sport into their lives recreationally or as a serious lifetime occupation.

Mothballs have many features that are beneficial to people. One feature of mothballs is keeping a house or building free of pest. Mothballs change from solids to gas at room temperature (Willert, n.d.). This gas is a toxic gas that kills moths and other insects (NPIC,2011). This toxic gas or fumes build up in a closed container and kills clothes moths inside. When enough fumes build up and moth or other insects digest the fumes the moths or other insects are then killed because the fumes are toxic (NPIC,2011). Mothballs also can cover up smells of other unpleasant smells from the fumes given off.

One of the largest and most problematic health issues in our society is smoking. Smoking is currently the leading cause of death in our country, due to its harmful and addicting contents, such as nicotine and tobacco. Although millions die from it each year, smoking is the single most preventable cause of death as well. Without smoking, a tremendous amount of money and lives will be saved. I think that our country should ban smoking and the production of cigarettes in order to maintain a healthier nation, help save the environment, and prevent the almost 1000 deaths that they cause in fires each year.

Animals have been used in testing since around 322 BC, and no one has done anything to stop this (Hajar). Medical breakthroughs and safety procedure would have been easily accomplished without the torture of these animals. To ensure the safety of a product tests are conducted and due to these tests 115 million animals are killed worldwide. (About Animal Testing). Animal Testing should be banned because animals are put under harsh conditions and their lives should not be at risk for our selfish needs.
This year alone cigarettes will kill over 420,000 Americans, and many more will suffer from cancers, and circulatory and respiratory system diseases. These horrible illnesses were known to come from cigarettes for years. Recently the Food and Drug Administration declared nicotine, the main chemical in cigarettes, addictive. This explains why smokers continue to use cigarettes even though smokers are aware of the constantly warned about health dangers in cigarettes.

The benefits of outlawing cigarettes greatly outnumber the disadvantages, for example, many scientists believe a link between smoking and a shortened life span exists between the two, a ban on cigarettes could increase life spans. Many studies suggest that billions of dollars now spent on smoking related. Smoking related illnesses could be reduced by outlawing cigarettes, families could save money by not purchasing cigarettes, and accidental fires costing millions of dollars caused by cigarettes would stop. Although a complete ban on cigarettes currently remains almost impossible, several organizations recently helped create a bill that could control cigarettes much in the same way the government now controls drugs. One such organization, the Food and Drug Administration, headed by David Kesslar drafted a major part, which would require manufacturers to disclose the 700 chemical additives in cigarettes, reduce the level of harmful chemicals, require cigarette companies to warn of the addictive nicotine, restrict tobacco advertising and promotion, and control the level of nicotine cigarettes contain.

Setting off fireworks to celebrate festivals and happy occasions has been a tradition for Chinese people. The loud booms as well as the striking spectacles displayed by the fireworks add to the jubilance of the day. However, the most beautiful aspects of fireworks cannot compensate for the problems they generate. Whether to ban the fireworks has always been a controversial topic among people. As the Air Pollution Index in Beijing becomes incredibly high this winter, a new discussion on the necessity of firework banning policy has been raised. To ban (not simply regulate) the use of firecrackers is the right thing to do, since the positive effects of banning outweigh its drawbacks. To be more specifically, both rockets and fireworks should be banned in all areas (including rural areas).

When people use these chemical filled products, they do have to wash them out. Many do not even bother to think about where these chemical filled waters go. The chemicals go in our drinking water, our showers and bathtubs, the water that we brush our teeth and wash our face with. Yet and still people continue to use them to this day. Maybe in the future the world will create healthier ways to color and straighten the hair.
