Founded in 1969 Friends of the Earth is an international network of organizations devoted to advocate for environmental issues. EcoNexus was founded in February of 2000 as a research focused organization oriented to analyze new technologies and their potential negative impact on the environment.

These two groups have strongly voiced their stand against the creation and testing of OX513A (which is the name given to the genetically modified male Aedes aegypti mosquito) because of the unknown ramifications this experiment could have. These environmentalists sustain that introducing genetically engineered insects could have a series of events that nobody would be able to control.

In "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" Huck runs away from home using the Mississippi River. Huck runs away because his father is an extremely violent and abusive man that makes Huck very unhappy and does not have a happy and fun childhood.

When Huck runs away, he is free of everything bad that his father puts in his life and across the river he gets freedom and lives many adventures where he learns a lot about life. For this reason, we can confirm that the Mississippi River can represent several things, but the most important of these is undoubtedly freedom.
