Composting leftover coffee grounds, eggshells and carrot tops is a way to reduce the amount of food waste that goes into landfills, where it produces the potent greenhouse gas methane.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

DoorDash messed up. They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty. That's unacceptable. We've secured a $131.5M settlement from DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in American municipal history. Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

In America, we have no kings, no dictators, no despots, no nobles, no slaves, no serfs, no subjects. Just "We the People." We are not one race, one ethnicity, one religion or one party. But we have one Constitution and one Bill of Rights. Happy Constitution Day, everybody!

The idea that "regenerative" grazing is a climate solution has really taken hold in some quarters.

But the science is clear: It doesn't work. Methane and land-use emissions just overwhelm any soil carbon benefits.

Oh, the HOME is thought to be Nicolas Cage's. For a second I imagined they found a Sinkhole and said, "that sinkhole looks like it belongs to Nicolas Cage." Which checks out with how I think about him.
