It’s a new day in Greece after voters say no to deeper austerity. More on the latest in the ongoing financial crisis. Plus, if you’ve ever wondered why Styrofoam isn’t recycled very often, it’s because the economics don’t work — Recycling needs markets for recycled materials. And as we find out, the global economy is putting stress on the markets that make recycling possible.
