It's a terribly inefficient use of natural resources.
Transport systems are chaotic and inefficient and many natural treasures have been destroyed by open sewage and pollution.
These programs frequently lead to perverse subsidies, where economically inefficient policies degrade natural capital and foster economic inequality.
Our consumption of those goods – a highly inefficient use of our natural capital – has wrought a long list of environmental consequences.
They live inside cells in small populations, making natural selection inefficient in removing slightly deleterious mutations from protein coding genes [ 25].
Although genistein and its related isoflavone family member, daidzein, are the most prominent isoflavones found in soy products, concentrations of these small molecules are usually quite low and can vary depending upon the type of soy preparation, making extraction from the natural source inefficient.
Although she wisely distances herself from the wilder excesses of evolutionary psychology, Taylor's framework is strictly Darwinian, and such actions seem inefficient in the context of natural selection.
A whole good idea would be to make a payroll-tax holiday the first step in an orderly transition to scrapping the payroll tax altogether and replacing the lost revenue with a package of levies on things that, unlike jobs, we want less rather than more of — things like pollution, carbon emissions, oil imports, inefficient use of energy and natural resources, and excessive consumption.
With a small population size, natural selection is inefficient, and mildly deleterious mutations can be fixed even when they would not occur in a large population.
Better data, better policy Poverty, gender, social and cultural norms, disabilities, conflict, natural disasters and inefficient education policies – all of these are factors keeping children out of school or pushing them to drop out early.
