Wednesday's story ideas

Some truckers in the southern border states are buying their gas in Mexico to save money.

"Carbon footprint" donations. Where does your money go, and how do you know these green organizations are legit?

Homeless shelters & food banks face tough times with soaring prices. How are they getting by?

Studies show that breathing ozone can kill you. Can you protect yourself?

Things that are more expensive than gas: Soda (about five bucks for a twelve pack) and bottled water. Will consumers go back to tap water?

Political commercials. If you're in a state with an upcoming primary, explain how the political spot buys work.

It's getting warmer, and we'll soon be turning on our air conditioners. Show how shading your central air unit can save money and energy.

Feature: UFO's are back this week, with weird lights in Arizona and Florida. Take that great video from Phoenix and find some locals who have seen things that cannot be explained.

Part of the states in the south are still in a drought. Talk to a local gardening center about the best plants and flowers for the dry weather.

The going green movement continues to get bigger. Find out how your local city is keeping up with the times. Example, adding more recycling centers, parks and playgrounds.

Thanks to Melissa for those last two entries.
