Bloomberg set to roll out New York composting plan for food waste 17.6.2013 The Guardian -- World Latest
Mayor set to cross 'final recycling frontier' with city-wide plan to handle up to 100,000 tons of food waste a year The mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, is preparing to roll out a new composting plan for the city, aimed at diverting some of the 100,000 tons of food scraps that ends up in landfill every year. Bloomberg, who is due to leave office early next year, has called food waste the "final recycling frontier". Now it appears New York is moving towards that line, testing pilot projects in some neighbourhoods in preparation for a city-wide composting plan. The city has hired a composting plant to handle up to 100,000 tons of food scraps a year – or about 10% of the city's total food waste, according to the New York Times, , which first reported the story. Last April, about 100 city restaurants joined a voluntary composting plan, the food waste challenge.

Al Gore says Obama must veto 'atrocity' of Keystone XL tar sands pipeline 15.6.2013 The Guardian -- World Latest
Former vice-president says oil pipeline is 'really a losing proposition' and demands climate plan promised at inauguration Al Gore has called on Barack Obama to veto the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, describing it as "an atrocity". The former vice-president said in an interview on Friday that he hoped Obama would follow the example of British Columbia, which last week rejected a similar pipeline project, and shut down the Keystone XL. "I certainly hope that he will veto that now that the Canadians have publicly concluded that it is not safe to take a pipeline across British Columbia to ports on the Pacific," he told the Guardian. "I really can't imagine that our country would say: 'Oh well. Take it right over parts of the Ogallala aquifer', our largest and most important source of ground water in the US. It's really a losing proposition." Campaigners have cast Keystone XL as the most important decision of Obama' presidency. The State Department, which has say over the project because ...
