POPSBe Bear Aware - Be AwareBear - Bear Aware Bear Bear Aware encourages people to change their behaviour. If people do not make bear attractants such as garbage and fruit available to bears, we can minimize human-bear conflict. Preventing these conflicts makes our communities safer and more sustainable. The program strives, through proper waste and attractant management, to prevent bears from lingering in our urban areas.

POPS5 Things we do that attract mosquitoes...and how we can fight back
Like one of the researchers in the article, I am irresistible to mosquitoes. If there is a mosquito around it will home in on me rather than on other people. I'm popular at parties, as I draw all the mosquitoes away from the other guests! I have to wear mosquito repellent indoors and out, and even then they hover near me, looking for an unprotected blood vessel. Aye, 'tis a dubious honor to be so sought after! "Researchers have identified more than 300 chemical compounds that a human emits, chiefly from the skin, and they're trying to figure out which ones most influence mosquito behavior. Some claim they've isolated a few ingredients that appear to make us undetectable to mosquitoes. They're working to formulate them into a new way of protecting us from biting insects...The hope is to publish findings next year, then seek a manufacturer to license the discovery, develop and market a product. He envisions an aerosol device that would release cloaking compounds into the air."
