When London Bridge began sinking into the Thames, the city sold it in 1968 to an American businessman for $2.46 million, and its 10,276 numbered granite facing blocks were shipped and rebuilt over a canal dug in the Arizona desert — it is now billed as the state's second most popular tourist attract (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The man who put it there made much of his money selling chainsaws and outboard motors. By the early 1960s, the granite crossing designed by engineer John Rennie was settling into the riverbed. A feature on History.com puts the rate at roughly an inch every eight years, a pace that sounds harmless until it is combined with decades of motor traffic the bridge was never built to carry. It had come through strafing in the Blitz. Cars proved a slower and more patient enemy. The City of London settled
California now requires large supermarkets and other major food businesses to donate the maximum amount of edible food they would otherwise throw away — turning what used to be supermarket waste into a legally mandated food-recovery stream (opens the original)

Morning bread by late afternoon. Yoghurt a day shy of a date that means almost nothing, bananas too freckled for the display stand. Edible, all of it, and buried anyway. California decided that arrangement was a choice rather than a law of nature, then outlawed it. Senate Bill 1383, signed in 2016, set California a target: recover 20 per cent of the edible food that would otherwise go to landfill and get it to people, by 2025.

Bags and bottles get sorted, shredded, melted and forced into moulds, and out the far end comes a fence post made by EcoPost, a Nairobi recycling business now well into its second decade. Unreasonable Group, one of the networks that has backed it, puts the running total past 13 million kilograms of plastic, or near en
Irregular bedtimes in your 40s are linked to double the risk of a major cardiovascular event over the next decade — but only among people sleeping less than eight hours, a Finnish study finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That second number is what a research team in Oulu went looking for, and it turned out to carry weight. In a paper published in BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, Laura Nauha and colleagues at the University of Oulu report that middle-aged adults with erratic bedtimes were about twice as likely to suffer a serious cardiac event over the following decade. One condition applies: they also had to be sleeping less than eight hours. Participants came from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966, a group of
