A new state regulation aims to reduce the mountain of leftovers that end up in landfills. But could it encourage more waste? The quest for sustainability has many fronts, from attempts to reduce paper wastage to efforts to reduce reliance on petroleum. But of all these battles, few are as troublesome as the issue of food. Unfortunately, few are also as pressing: food is arguably the single biggest factor in America's waste production. An estimated 40% of all food gets thrown away in the United States each year. That statistic is disturbing enough on its own, but it becomes even more so when you factor in what happens before and after you sit down at the dining room table.

The alternatives to salt for battling ice: cheese, beets and ash	3.3.2014	Guardian: Environment
As some cities face shortages for fighting off cold weather companies are creating innovative deicers made from quirky alternatives As snow, ice and frigid temperatures continue to pound large portions of the US this winter, salt shortages and strained local budgets have sent states and municipalities scrambling for deicing alternatives .

Beyond sand and gravel, other deicing alternatives keep popping up, including potato juice and swine urea (yes, pig urine). So where are businesses innovating? Many of the alternative deicers highlighted below are sourced from waste products or byproducts of manufacturing processes. Cheese brine In Wisconsin, Polk County officials and a local company, F&A Dairy Products , came up with a mutually beneficial solution for cheese brine, a byproduct of making mozzarella and provolone. ...

Schoolchildren on a trip to London's King's Cross found out how they could help the planet (and have a lot of fun) by composting, recycling and living without waste While we can all do our part to be greener, the future of our planet will depend on the next generation. That's why the Guardian invited schoolchildren to a day of workshops and activities designed to encourage them to think more about sustainability and their impact on the environment. The event, held at London's King's Cross Skip Garden on Saturday 15 February, was part of a joint nationwide campaign launched by the Guardian and Unilever called the Live Better Challenge, which is introducing a series of tasks to help inspire and motivate individuals and families towards creating a better and more sustainable life.
