EPA releases new report on toxins in sewage sludge
Organic Consumers - 1/26/2009.What's the downside to clean water? Dirty sludge. A nationwide survey of sewage treatment plants shows that the sludge they produce – the residue from cleaning up wastewater – contains a wide variety of toxic metals, pharmaceuticals, flame retardants, and other compounds, including some antibiotics in surprisingly high concentrations.

Todmorden: The deprived West Yorkshire town showing recovery can be homegrown
Times of London - 1/25/2009.There are some curious sights around the streets of Todmorden, a town tucked into a narrow cleft in the Pennine hills on the border between Yorkshire and Lancashire. On an abandoned demolition site in the centre of town, raspberry canes and cherry saplings sprout from heaps of spoil; there is chard growing in an old horse trough outside the town hall and a sign on the railway station invites passengers to help themselves to rosemary from herb planters along the platform.

Going back to the land
Maine Sunday Telegram - 1/25/2009.Interest in locally grown food and agricultural preservation leads to the reversal of a decades-old trend.
