people in most nations. And, the
money Americans have left over
after paying for their food has been

automobiles, televisions,
recreational equipment, all the
consumer goods which Americans

for essentials such as food.

living example of the free en

To prevent getting separated
during a flood, some ants on the
North American prairie cling
together, forming a big ball, says
National Wildlife’s Ranger Rick
magazine. The ball becomes a
floating raft that constantly
tumbles, giving each ant a turn to
breathe. Amazingly, few ants
drown.

Despite the growing popularity
of recycling in many countries,
International Wildlife magazine
reports that only about one-fourth
of all paper, aluminum, iron and
steel is recycled. A report from
Worldwatch Institute says that in

threw away more aluminum in the
form of beverage containers than
all the aluminum produced in
Africa.
