Brighton Expands Bra
Recycling Service
A bra recycling service is being extended across Brighton with cardboard collection points being offered to shops and businesses across the city.
Brighton council said having more collection points would make it even easier for women to recycle underwear.
Deputy council leader Dee Simson said the authority had been amazed by the support the scheme had already had.
She said women in the city had donated more than 13,000 bras and raised nearly £700 for charity since June.
"We wanted to make it even easier for women to recycle their unwanted bras by offering a collection service for shops and businesses," she added.
"We're hoping women all over the city will soon be bringing their bras to work."
The bras are sent with other clothing to developing countries including Africa, Pakistan and Eastern Europe, where they are repaired and sold on.
Each bra donated earns money for local breast cancer charity The Pink Dolphin Appeal which raises money for The Park
Center for Breast Cancer in Brighton.
The scheme was launched in June by Cityclean, Brighton council's waste, recycling and street cleansing service, and BCR Global, a textile recycling company.
BCR Global pays £1 a kilo for the bras and the money goes to breast cancer charities.

Murphy's Law of Children
1. The later you stay up, the earlier your child will wake up the next morning.
2. For a child to become clean, something else must become dirty.
3. Toys multiply to fill any space available.
4. The longer it takes you to make a meal, the less your child will like it.
5. Yours is always the only child who doesn't behave.
6. If the shoe fits..it's expensive.
7. The surest way to get something done is to tell a child not to do it.
8. The gooier the food, the more likely it is to end up on the carpet.
9. Backing the car out of the driveway causes your child to have to go to the bathroom.
10. The more challenging the child, the more rewarding it is to be a parent..sometimes.
Carrefour Exits Russia
Carrefour, the world's second-largest retailer, is to withdraw from Russia just four months after
opening its first store in the country.
The French retail giant made the surprise announcement after the market closed October 15, as
it posted a 2.9% drop in third-quarter sales.
The move follows reports that Carrefour's largest investors - Colony Capital and Bernard Arnault -
were placing the company's management under pressure to sell its operations in emerging
markets.
The world's second-largest retailer said the decision to quit Russia was reached given the
"absence of sufficient organic growth prospects" and "acquisition opportunities" that would have
allowed the business to attain a "position of leadership" in the market.
Sales for the third quarter totaled EUR24.02bn (US$35.81bn), compared with EUR24.72bn last year.
Although Carrefour insisted it was "on track" to meet its 2009 objectives, the company also
suggested that full-year profits would likely fall in the lower-end of its guidance range of
EUR2.7-2.8bn.
