Grey wolves that inhabit the northern Rocky Mountains are no longer protected under the Endangered Species Act. This group of grey wolves have been removed from the list that they belonged to for more than three decades. According to Deputy Interior Secretary Lynn Scarlett "the wolf population in the Northern Rockies has far exceeded its recovery goal and continues to expand its size and range”.

Apparently we may be heading for a corn crisis. Yes, you heard right, corn. The U.S. is becoming very dependant on corn and a drought in the Midwest could not only increase the cost of food but also for gasoline. Corn is fed to dairy cows to make milk and to hens that lay eggs. It also fattens cattle, hogs and chickens before they are slaughtered. Corn also makes soda sweet. Corn is the building block of ethanol which is a major component of auto fuel.

Scientists at MIT are working on creating a car that can not only drive on it’s own but also fold and stack in a similar manner to shopping carts. The concept is to create a vehicle that will help the environment while also solving traffic congestion and reducing the space needed for parked cars in cities around the world.
