What environment do baby grass snakes need?
Q. I found a baby grass snake earlier today [i know it's that because i compared it with pictures from google and other references]. I just wondered what kind of environment it needs. I've currently got a clear storage box with some A4 paper in the bottom, a plastic tub with only a little bit of water in it and some stones for leverage so it can get out, and there are a lot of stones and bits of wood scattered around. It's currently near our radiator so it can keep warm. Can you offer any additional tips and also what to feed a baby this age? [it's about 6 inches, so not that old]. i've researched you feed him baby earthworms and crickets. Is this right? Thanks for your help.

A. Grass Snakes favour damp areas with long grass, often close to water. Grass Snakes eat small rodents like mice and rats, but also bugs, such as the beetle. They have been known to hunt for small fish. This websit will help you understand alot better about them. Good luck!

A. I would suggest that instead of directly joining a society or NGO for the environment protection, You can start from the very root, i. e. from around yourself. Do it in your capacity. Like, avoid use of motor vehicles for small distances, use bicycle instead; discipline yourself not to use air-conditioner when the temperatures are of the order of 18-28 degree Celsius; Use bucket and mug to bath instead of shower; Use light metal products instead of wood items for aesthetics and decoration; Discipline yourself not to spit pan, tobacco etc. here and there and like. Once you practise this well; suggest the same and similar activities to your friends - lead them by example. Do it for three to four good friends and neighbours of yours, so that… [cont.]

How does oil react in a recessionary environment?
Q. Given the current market situation and the movement of the price of oil, the answer is clear that given a recessionary environment, the price of oil will fall. Why is this? Is it because of the market perception that a recession will cause less spending and therefore less demand for oil? If you have any sources, please cite them. Thank you!

A. As a recession takes old, consumers begin to curtail spending. Since the US consumer is responsible for approximately 70% of economic activity, when they slow spending, the whole economy is affected. With an economy that is contracting (not growing), which is a classic definition of a recession, the reduced demand flows through the economy. When the economy slows, there is less need to ship goods resulting in lower demand for fuel (be it gas or diesel). Less demand for fuel means less demand for crude oil. Take a look at this article. Also a paper from the Stern School:

  • I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you humans are not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.
