Killing bugs is wrong

It really bothers me when people try or do kill bugs. The excuses are always that they did it because it was “bugging them”. Which usually means that the bug was near the person and they didn’t want it there. Just because something is small doesn’t mean it is insignificant. People often make that relevence where, the smaller the creature, the less important and less significant it is. But these small bugs play a large role in the world. Flies and mosquitos, the most annoying bugs, and the most commonly killed when they are simply near someone: play a HUGE role in our world. Eliminate them and our food webs and other food webs will be greatly disrupted. It is very possible that it could cause a chain reaction of eliminating species after species until all life on our planet is wiped out. This is a very serious reality.
Many people feel that humans are superior to all living things in this world. This is very untrue. Yes, humans have more knowledge about the world and have the ability to manipulate tools, which has brought us our vast technology, but we are certainly not superior and we are not more intelligent. Many creatures in this world have amazing capabilities that we can only dream of having. Many creatures have amazing intelligence that we can only recognize if we just pay attention. Take a look a cuttlefish, for example. They can change they’re skin to any colour and any pattern. They can do this at an alarming rate. The colour and pattern of their skin can change so fast that they are able to create a show of colours that look like rippling light. They communicate with one another through these colours and patterns, and even through positioning of their tentacles. A cuttlefish assumes wild patterns and strange forms to, in a way hypnotize, their prey. They have different shows for different kinds of prey. Their intelligence level is still unknown, but it is assumed that they are much smarter than humans.
In means of capabilities, we are in no way superior. Many birds and bugs can fly. Animals like bears and crustaceans have amazing strength. Most animals can move much faster than humans. Some animals can see pigmentations that humans cannot, some insects, like mosquitoes, can even see things in infrared (colours that show heat level of things). Most animals can smell things from miles away, and can hear things that are way below audible for humans. These are things that we can only achieve with our technology. There is very little expectation for humans to ever evolve any of these features.
Humans are in no way superior to other living things neither more intelligent. We need to pay closer attention to the world and maybe we can all see this, and learn a little more about our neighbours. It is not right to kill something because you can. The only time I would ever excuse the killing of a creature is if it is, at the moment, endangering your life and health, or for food, which is a natural survival process, in which all beings do in nature. Otherwise, it is not ok to kill something, especially if it is just annoying you. I don’t want to hear “it’s just a fly” as an excuse. It plays a large role in our world and its life is worth as much as yours. Something much larger than us could easily try to justify that “it is just a human” in its killing of one. But it would be a devastating loss for us to lose a friend to some larger or more powerful creature. Yes, bugs don’t have friends and don’t mourn the loss of one of their own kind. But think about how easy something else can kill us without a thought or reason. It is just as unjust and wrong as any person killing a smaller being. All creatures are equal in importance, and we all each have our own soul.

So i took a forestry course at school and there was an article about disposable diapers in it. Disposable diapers are one of the largest amounts of waste in landfills. The material doesn't break down. They cause more problems than just excess waste. The other wastes that they contain can cause the same problems that the run off from fertilized fields and manure that is washed away from cattle farms. If you are unfamiliar: the fertilizer and/or manure runs off of its original origin with the water that flows around the area from rain or farmers washing away manure. This contaminated water gets into rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams. When it gets there, plants like algae flourish. In the winter, all the algae dies off. This is referred to as "winterkill". Usually this doesn't cause any problems. But when there is an excess amount of algae, and it all dies in the winter, decomposers like bacteria that break down the algae are now breaking down A LOT of it, using up a whole lot of oxygen. The next spring, little oxygen is left. Therefore, fish and other aquatic organisms cannot grow and develop as well, and sometimes die. Diapers cause this problem too. The human waste gets into ground water and is washed into bodies of water. Causing an algae bloom, etc. Not only do they do that but they also contaminate drinking water. Harmful viruses and bacteria can develop in tossed out diapers. Also, making diapers uses more energy than making cloth diapers, and they consume more raw materials. Not to mention that the cost of disposable diapers can add up.

Many people won't use cloth diapers because they are considered to be dated, extra work, and not as convenient. So i guess poisoning the environment is a price to pay for all that, eh. C'MON!!! Personally, i think using a "dated" product that is less convenient and extra would be the price to pay for preserving the environment. Yes, they are an old product. But don't we already have styles of clothes that have made a comeback from the 70s and 80s. So there is really nothing to be concerned about in that area. And, they are not as inconvenient as some may think. They do leak a bit more, but you can buy waterproof liners for them, so there are less leaks with that. And the extra work, is definitely worth your contribution to preserving the environment AND saving money! Plus, you don't have to replace them after every use.
