Recycled guns and knives will be used in London’s Olympic Stadium
Some of the materials used in this sustainable Olympic Stadium are going to be made out of recycled guns and knifes. The Metropolitan Police collected more than 52 tonnes of scrap metal from old keys, knives and guns during the last financial year. Some of the recovered steel, iron and other valuable metals will enjoy a second life at the 2012 Olympic site in Stratford, east London and others will used in the structures of bridges and buildings, as well as in car and train production.

A phone box reinvented as the UK’s smallest 24/7 public library.
A traditional bright red phone booth was turned into an open library, in Westbury-sub-Mendip in Somerset, UK. The booth was purchased from BT for a mere £1, and the residents cleaned it, installed the shelves and borrowed the first books. The library is now filled with over 100 books ranging from cookbooks to classics, several DVDs and CDs.

A “Ghost Forest” in the Trafalgar Square.
Trafalgar Square. The “Ghost Forest” as it is called is the vision of British artist Angela Palmer. The concept is to present a series of rainforest tree stumps as a ‘ghost forest’ – using the negative space created by the missing trunks as a metaphor for climate change, the absence representing the removal of the world’s ‘lungs’ through continued deforestation.

Despite the risks, the British government has approved 10 sites for new nuclear power stations.
Ten sites deemed suitable for future nuclear plants in England and Wales, while plans for any plants in Scotland, which has two existing sites, were opposed by the Scottish National Party (SNP) government. According to Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, nuclear is a “proven and reliable” energy source that will help the UK to reduce its carbon emissions and become more energy independent. Also, the majority of the UK’s ageing nuclear infrastructure will have to be decommissioned by 2023, leading some experts to warn of the prospect of power shortages if capacity is not added.
