Obama Unveils Budget Plans for 2011

Posted by admin as News

U.S. President Barack Obama has announced a $ 3.8tn (£ 2.4tn) budget planning for the year 2011, increased spending on job creation, including, but cuts in other areas.
He predicts the U.S. deficit would be to get a record $ 1.56tn this year. He liked to go back to send astronauts to the moon and will try to save $ 250 billion by capping a series of domestic spending programs for three years. Congress must budget for the fiscal year beginning on 1 October will not be effective.
Mr. Obama blamed the huge deficit on the decisions of President George W. Bush, the previous Congress and his government is moving to prevent an economic collapse.

In Copenhagen, participating countries agreed that the threat posed by climate change is real and that immediate actions need to be taken to reduce warming.
Delegates produced a non-binding treat built around voluntary greenhouse gas reduction targets but failed to establish a “carbon price” or other concrete steps for driving down the CO2 emissions.
That is hardly an encouraging result. However, people should not wait passively for another year and just hope for a better result from Mexico City. In the absence of a binding international agreement, other approaches need to be identified to accelerate research and development and to demonstrate commercial clean energy technologies.
Fortunately, in spite of the political stalemate, important progress is being made. A number of energy companies in the US and China are now working closely to achieve advances in commercial “clean” energy systems.
The fact that corporate leadership is coming from these two countries might sounds quite ironic, since they are the largest emitters of CO2 and both are highly dependent on coal for electricity. However, they are also two of the largest and most dynamic economies in the world and both have highly innovative energy sectors.
Energy conservation and alternative energy are the keys to cutting down the emissions of greenhouse gas, but they are far from enough.

Leftovers Offer Hope to the Hungry

Those filling their supermarket trolleys for the weekly shop or shopping online for groceries are unlikely to ponder how much of their purchases may end up in rubbish bins.
According to research just published by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, it could be up to 40% in the US. Meanwhile, according to Waste and Resources Action Program, 8.3 million tons of food and drink are throw away annually in the UK. Food waste is so wide-spread that experts believe there should be already enough to feed the expected world population of 9bn in 2050 if food wastes could be eliminated.
Now the issue is being taken seriously by the food producers, retailers and government.
In the supermarkets, the labels of “Buy one, get one free” are gradually being replaced with various offers of “half price”, “buy one, get one free later”, and multi-buy deals that combine different items rather than just offering more of the same. Storage information is now printed on packaging. Tips to keep the food for longer are given in details. Reducing in-store waste is another effective way to stop sending waste to landfill. Today, some retailers are even given charities unsold food that is within its use-by date.
