This issue is Carbon Emissions: A Field Guide to American&#8217;s Favorite Greenhouse Gas.  It&#8217;s one sheet folded in a manga size (height x width) not thickness.  An advertisement for Hybrids, some sayings, and some facts and charts about carbon emissions and our good friend CO<sub>2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n<p>There was  poster in the shop that said that this free news sheet would be out every Thursday.  I&#8217;m thinking I might have to look up issue No. 002.  The fact that there&#8217;s some zeros in that number indicates they plan to give it a decent run.  Each week the sheet should cover a hot election topic.  Not in depth certainly, but a quick over view of the topic will give a lot of people some nodding acquaintance with some of the issues.   This link to a Motley Fool <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/general\/2008\/09\/08\/good-reads-at-starbucks.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">article<\/a> goes into a bit more detail. Even the NY Times has an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2008\/09\/08\/business\/media\/08good.html?partner=rssnyt&amp;emc=rss\" target=\"_blank\">article<\/a> (this one about issue No. 002 so guess I missed one,  or so.<\/p>\n<p>You can read <a href=\"http:\/\/awesome.goodmagazine.com\/goodsheet\/goodsheet001carbon.html\" target=\"_blank\">issue No. 001<\/a> online at the Starbucks site.  Take a look and check for the second issue, or is it the third, that will be out this week &#8212; I seem to have lost count.  Must be lack of coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the schedule or which issue is out now, it&#8217;s a great idea.  You know that awkward point when your out with someone and you don&#8217;t know what to talk about next? Hey, it happens even with a partner, spouse, or significant other &#8212; you know each other so well that after awhile something like this is a great aid in helping to start a real conversation about something other then the house, the chores, the job, the weather.  It&#8217;s a great conversation starter even for people who know each other very well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, we stopped in to Starbucks this past weekend for coffee (me) and hot chocolate (Hyperion) and picked up issue No. 001 September 11-17, 2008.
