Police clear protesters from LafargeHolcim quarry in Switzerland

LafargeHolcim – parent of Aggregate Industries – clearly has problems on its own doorstep too:
Police on Tuesday cleared environmental protestors from a quarry in western Switzerland that they had occupied for months in a demonstration against cement maker LafargeHolcim... The activists said they were seeking to block expansion of the quarry to prevent more carbon dioxide emissions and protect biodiversity in the area.
