While compostable materials are more expensive, Martin says that the rise in price for materials was offset by the use of fountain beverages. In the end, the total switch was cost-neutral...
...Security With the Games coming just seven years after the 2005 London transport bombings, terrorism is still a major concern for the city. And keeping the Olympic athletes and spectators safe won't come cheaply, so once again, money has become a concern. "The cost of providing the security for the London Games will be astronomic," Szymanski says. Britain's Home Office estimates that security will run about ?600 million ($959 million), but with three years to go before the event, the agency can't say exactly how the money will be spent. Apart from that are the logistics...
...sheer economic need for more women to move to breastfeeding is striking. With roughly 25% of formula-using families in the Philippines at or below the poverty line in 2003, families are spending a full 27% of their resources on formula. To save on costs, many families over-dilute the formula or add other kinds of milk - including condensed milk - a practice that, over time, can lead to malnutrition, illness, and death. In 2005 the World Health Organization estimated the nation's total lost wages from caring for formula-fed children with diarrhea and acute respiratory infections during the first...

Dodging final status talks...
Cariocas, as the residents of Rio call themselves, are still reeling from the cost of the last big athletic event held in their city. The budget for the Pan American Games of 2007 was $177 million. It probably cost several times that at the end (some reports estimate it at close to $2 billion). For the biggest athletic event of all, the Rio Olympic organizing committee has set its budget at $2.82 billion, with another $11.1 billion going to related expenses such as transport, power and security. (Another $170 million has been set aside for the Paralympic Games which usually...
