Think coffee powers you in the morning? Waste coffee is being converted into biofuel - today will see some London buses being powered by coffee-based biofuels. This marks the start of a move to alternative fuel sources, and there are decent grounds to support this sort of initiative.

You'll be able to spot them; they'll be the ones causing chaos as pedestrians delight in their aroma on London's pavements
