This could be your garbage man, a neighbor who recycles, someone who takes public transportation, a local gardener, a hybrid car owner - anyone you’ve seen taking steps toward bettering our environment.

Students Trade Spring Break for Work on Florida Trail
American Eagle Outfitters and the Student Conservation Association (SCA) today announced their annual Alternative Spring Break program. The program’s goal is to provide the ultimate educational and work experience to a new generation of conservation leaders from across the U.S.
Sandy beaches, sunny days and endless nights lure thousands of college students to central Florida every Spring Break. This year, 60 students are blazing their own trail to Orlando, where they will build a new section of the Florida National Scenic Trail.
“American Eagle Outfitters customers care about the environment, and offering ways for them to get involved makes sense for our brand,” said American Eagle Outfitters Foundation Director Marcie Eberhart. “SCA’s leadership in youth engagement and conservation stewardship ensures this initiative will benefit the Florida National Scenic Trail and all who hike it.”

Becoming & Staying Debt Free: Gasoline Prices: How High Will They Go?
Becoming & Staying Debt Free: Gasoline Prices: How High Will They Go?: "It should be no surprise to anyone that gas prices are up. In fact one news site even said they were up 26.7 cents per gallon over last week.Now that is a significant jump. One that will truly effect prices of everything that we buy. GasBuddy.com says that the average price of a gallon of gas today is $3.211 here in Austin, TX and $3.352 nationally. Compared to a year ago when gas was $2.545 here in Austin, TX and $2.695 nationally. This weekend I have seen some stations as high as $3.35 here in Austin. However, we will focus on the current average price rather then the highest. That is roughly a 67 cent jump over last year and 26 cents of that was just in the past week."
