The Allegheny Front show

Summary: On this week's The Allegheny Front, a surprising amount of food ends up in landfills each year, rotting and causing harmful greenhouse gases.  A new federal program aims to stop the table-to-landfill stream.  And Caren Glotfelty, director of the Heinz Endowments' Environment Program, is leaving her position, and that's leaving environmental groups wondering what comes next.  Plus a Czech immigrant in West Virginia is taking American independence to heart by embracing his freedom from the energy grid.  All this, and more. http://media.alleghenyfront.org.s3.amazonaws.com/AF080313Show.mp3
