Animals Are Smart. Are Humans Holding Them Back?

The "unique" talents and skills that human beings have mastered over time, while impressive, is not only unique to humans. Animals, such as mice, have been tested and treated for depression. However, the treatment given to animals might be hindering their potential. Culture, misinformation, and ethics often influence how we treat animals and perception of them. Studies are being done to gauge how advanced animals are in intelligence.

This is very intriguing to me. Often we do not think about if wild animals feel emotion, as we are only exposed to domestic animals and their emotions. Our meat industry also degrades our perception of animals. I believe we should think further about animals, and continue research.

    We have so many inhumane ways of slaughtering animals today and the unhealthy conditions they live in not only affect them, but us too. Hopefully researchers will be more aware after further research with animals.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
