I'm not exactly what you'd call a "Tree Hugger" nor am I all about "Save the Planet" or "Save the Animals" - that kind of stuff, but I think this video deserves some attention.
Question: Are people overreacting or are plastic bags a real hazard to the environment? What do you think? Is eliminating plastic bags a good idea? Would you be willing to use (or do you already use) "cloth bags" as they call them? If you use plastic bags, do you feel bad when you do so?
In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
