\"StarbucksSo, 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. This issue is Carbon Emissions: A Field Guide to American’s Favorite Greenhouse Gas. It’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 CO2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n

There was poster in the shop that said that this free news sheet would be out every Thursday. I’m thinking I might have to look up issue No. 002. The fact that there’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 article<\/a> goes into a bit more detail. Even the NY Times has an article<\/a> (this one about issue No. 002 so guess I missed one, or so.<\/p>\n

You can read 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 — I seem to have lost count. Must be lack of coffee.<\/p>\n

Whatever the schedule or which issue is out now, it’s a great idea. You know that awkward point when your out with someone and you don’t know what to talk about next? Hey, it happens even with a partner, spouse, or significant other — 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’s a great conversation starter even for people who know each other very well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
