Happy Earth Day! Don't miss these two stories today

Don't miss these two important stories in today's edition of The News Journal:
Laying waste to wastefulnessThe plan is to feed it by the truckload: outdated groceries, restaurant leftovers, school and hospital cafeteria table scraps, castoffs from banana boats and produce markets. All would pour into the maw of Peninsula Composting's new Wilmington Organic Recycling Center -- a commercial venture near the Port of Wilmington that industry officials are touting on Earth Day today as a national trailblazer in efforts to keep food waste out of landfills.
Delaware wind farm nearer realityThe federal government has opened Delaware's ocean waters to bids from renewable power developers, formalizing the state's role as an offshore wind pioneer. The Department of the Interior on Wednesday issued the nation's first Request for Interest for ocean-based renewable energy development. It formally asks developers if they want to build in the waters off Delaware's southern coast, and would result in assigning ocean tracts to one or more developers.
