But those people are not just savvy they are also pretty creative, you can see how some of the walls, doors and roof are mosaic-like decorat...

Mammoth dung has proved to be a source of prehistoric information, helping scientists unravel the mystery of what caused the great mammals to die out. An examination of a fungus that is found in the ancient dung and preserved in lake sediments has helped build a picture of what happened to the beasts.The study sheds light on the ecological consequences of the extinction and the role that humans may have played in it.Researchers describe this ...

This is the time to look on the cute, cozy plastic carry-bag, which you are carrying to home after a big purchase. Yeah, you are doing a big mistake which you cannot take back and which will donate to a deadly pollution. The ill-effects are irretrievable and capable of getting out to numerous generations to come. Plastic is one of the few new chemical materials which create environmental problem. Plastic is the general common term for a wide r...

Scientists have been claiming that the Arctic Ocean could be very much free of ice during the summer within the space of a decade (although the predictions vary wildly). This claim has been supported by the results of the studies by scientists over the spring: taking measurements across a 280-mile (450km) long stretch along the Beaufort Sea. Their conclusions were that the ice found was mostly young and thin. Peter Wadhams, a sea-ice expert ba...

It is believed that greenhouse gas emissions are related to industries, and various rules and regulations are placed on industries in order to limit them. But a new report as published by scientists indicates that there is a lot you can do at home to reduce greenhouse gases. Thomas Dietz, a professor at Michigan State University, says that household energy consumption is responsible for up to 38% of United States carbon emissions (that counts ...

A wonderful phenomenon that is going to draw the attention of the people associated with the environmental pollution is the leaves that are going to be magnetized. Vehicles that emit polluted matters in the air adhere to road side trees. If you want to measure the amounts of pollution with which the trees are affected you have to spend enough amount. But if magnetic techniques are followed the amount of pollution can easily be detected. A notable...

Now as we are reaching towards the environmental disaster we are getting aware of the bad effects of insecticides on flora and fauna. Researchers round the globe are trying hard to find out the limit of such destructive level of pesticides that are goading the global aquatic life to the verge of extinction. It is noted by a group of researchers that human life as well as the aquatic life is really at stake at this present moment. According to ...

Recent studies have proved that the raise in the acidity level of the ocean causes the increase of carbon dioxide that leaves a detrimental effect on the growth of marine animals. As a result the ocean life is at stake. The researchers opine that due to rise in the acid the ocean water is not congenial for the species such as the shell fish, oysters, scallop and others. The carbon dioxide is growing rapidly underneath adding fuel to fire. The ...

What we know as conventional fertilizer is in fact derived directly from petroleum. It is evident from the examination of a bag containing 40 pound fertilizer that there is the presence of gasoline to a great extent. Not only that the fertilizers are packed with nitrogen and much quantity of phosphorous. This excessive use of chemical flow down into the water sources causing much destruction to the aquatic life paving the way for the algae to blo...
