This seems really hard to believe, but its what a new study is saying.
However, the study didn’t include how we use resources! It compared the gaits of the two species.
Apparently, the human bipedal gait is about four times more efficient than chimps getting around on either two or four legs. The researchers feel they have demonstrated why humans walk bipedally, a phenomenon that previously went unexplained.

2007 has been christened the theme the International Polar Year aimed at promoting global warming. It is a fact that the polar ice caps are disintegrating bit by bit and if no action is taken soon, we may find a lot of species in the polar regions dying and facing major catastrophe.
We do not have to go there and offer our help. We can simply check out the different means to fight off global warming. To some, it may seem like child’s play. But

The creative people of Brazil have been coming up with some very good recycling ideas recently, the main material used appears to be the ring pull from a can of soda.
Here the ring pulls have been combined with a crocheted material and a buckle made from nickel plated tin.
The finished product looks so cool and nice, in fact if you never knew what it was made from, and then at first glance you probably would know that there were ring pulls in th

The Endangered Species Act, aims to safeguard the best interest of animals that have been abused and deteriorating in numbers owing to the unfortunate incidents of pollution and killings one by one by humans.

Oceans were once seen to be beautiful and a source of natural resources. It is also home to a lot of the sea life mammals we are usually educated on. However, they have been obviously wasted due to pollution and continued environmental negligence by the people who are supposedly more rational. Hopefully it is not too late to save it.

Just when we thought that machineries such as cars and manufacturing companies are the main cause for the rising case of emissions in the world, there is actually another worst origin from such. Livestock for producing the demanded meat from most people who have to turn to them to live properly, produces more of these unwanted carbon emissions.
The harmful emissions do not come from the machineries and plants to maintain them. Rather, it is in th

We all love to see living animals around, especially the rare ones like giraffes and bears. However we forget that most of the furnishings and clothings we have come from them. Ever wonder why the price is pegged high? Because they are rare to find these days and hard to hunt. The have become rare in the sense that their breeds are slowly decreasing in numbers. All thanks to our bratty needs and wants.

There are a lot of vessels that find themselves in unlikely places and finding themselves in the Antarctic regions is something that will surely be something that any boat would not want to be, even if it is a whaling ship that bullies the natural water creatures.
Add bad luck to the equation, having a fire in the ship and losing most of its power to travel back to its point of origin makes it all the more harder. The said fire does not only thre

We all know that forest fires are something that may occur and devour our forests of the natural habitats such as trees and all. While people concerned will always have a headache trying to contain them, perhaps if they have a thinking squirrel like this to control the situation, then we have nothing to worry about.

People need to satisfy themselves through using the various resources around us. While this practice has evidently be normal for all people living in the world, the matter of knowing how to replace them by re-harvesting or breeding the used up resources and animals has been overlooked. The result is the diminishing resources.
Also, another aspect is that of the negligence in pollution and waste that is produced in processing these demands. Improp

Now this video is something that not any person will want to see. We already despise the killers from reading or hearing about them but seeing the actual animals as elephants being killed one by one for their ivory tusks is something that is truly unforgiving.
We all long for ivory, but the creatures that suffer on their behalf needs to be considered. Elephants are being killed for our sake and trade purposes. Can we accept this fact and go on wi

World’s Best Cat Litter is a corn based eco-friendly litter that is clumpable, bio-degradable, and flushable. (although i don’t recommend flushing cat poop down your commode, even though technically the bag states you can)

Whales may be large animals that some people rarely get to see outside the movies. But in reality, the people who see them do not even care about their existence. In fact, people just hunt them down and kill them one by one. A leading nation known for killing whales is Japan. There are various campaigns being put up to stop this practice and even if whales are already having problems dealing with global warming, being hunted and killed by humans

The Bald Eagle is no longer on the U.S. Threatened and Endangered List. After some 40 years of being on the list, conservation efforts have led to the increased numbers in population.
Several measures have aided in the effort to bring the Bald Eagle back, including the banning of an environmentally unsound insecticide called DDT in 1972, the passing of a Congress law in 1940 making it illegal to kill Bald Eagles, and being placed in the Endanger
