Processing of discarded refrigerators in the Netherlands

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the recycling policy of the Netherlands with respect to old refrigerators reveals that controlled incineration could reduce the greenhouse gas load of the country by 4% in carbon dioxide terms. Moreover, related costs are lower by $16 to $22 per tonne while ensuring that the Dutch government achieves its goal of registering a 3% reduction in greenhouse gas load by year 2000.

The Russians are coming!

Article Abstract:

Honeybee queens imported into the US from Russia may foster a generation of bees resistant to the deadly varroa mites. The mites originated from Asia, and have decimated the wild honeybee population and destroyed a third of America's managed hives. Russian honeybee queens will be introduced to queenless colonies, and stock releases are planned if the resulting brood proves resistant.
