China policy. Forget the toy problem, have you tried to buy anything made in this country? Or something not made in China? Find out if there's a manufacturer in your market that isn't outsourcing.
College smoke-out. Sixty campuses in the US have gone smoke free. (So much for the pipe smoking professor.) Is there one in your market? And if not, are your local colleges considering it?
Global warming diet. It promotes fruits and veggies and less red meat, since apparantly it takes a lot of enegry to process meat. And there's the energy to produce cattle feed. And of course, there's the methane from cows, but let's leave that bit of nat sound out of our packages.
Holiday gift cards. These wonderul presents are perfect for people who hate to shop, but they sometimes come with expiration dates. And a survey showed that more than a quarter of them are never used. (Pretty good profit for the stores.)
Hybrid cars are flying off the lots, but hybrid trucks are not. Are they not macho enough? Why aren't these catching on?
It takes 100 million trees to produce one year's worth of all the junk mail in this country. How can you prevent your mailbox from overflowing with this stuff? (Hint... the words "opt out" are key to this story.)
Text messaging. Incredibly hot with kids who don't speak anymore, but has resulted in "TMI" or "text messaging injuries" which includes carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis. (I'm not making this up.) An entire generation of teenagers that can't hold a pen is on the horizon.
Virginia feature story. One in ten vanity plates are in your state. Must be all those members of Congress who don't live in DC.
