RSN: Marc Ash | Madam Speaker, I Rise in Support of Withholding the Articles
Marc Ash, Reader Supported News
Ash writes: "The decision, Madam Speaker, to withhold the Articles of Impeachment is clearly justified by Abuse of Power. However, it is not the president's abuse of power as articulated in the Articles of Impeachment, but rather Senator Mitch McConnell's abuse of his power as Senate Majority Leader that necessitates the course you have rightly undertaken."

The California City That's Working to Eliminate Disposable Food Packaging

McCormick writes: "The next time Charles Bunch goes on a coffee break without his reusable coffee mug, he knows he's going to pay for it."
excerpt:
On 1 January, the city of Berkeley, California, where Bunch works, rolled out the nation’s most comprehensive law to fight throw-away food packaging. The groundbreaking new rules require restaurants and cafes to charge 25 cents for each disposable cup, make all to-go containers compostable and, starting in July, use reusable foodware, such as porcelain dishes, for customers who are dining in.
Bunch, a stationary engineer, supports the change. “Anything we can do to reduce plastic waste is great,” he said during a visit to Berkeley’s Caffe Strada in December, a few days before the strict new rules kicked in. Brunch was holding a disposable cup, but said: “Next time, I’m going to bring my own.”
