According to a new study, if current trends persist, 100% of American adults will be overweight in 40 years.  The figure might sound alarming, or impossible, but researchers say that even if the actual rate never reaches the 100-percent mark, any upward movement is worrying; two-thirds of the population is already overweight.

Of nearly 2,000 Americans responding to a survey, zero percent say they favor lifting import tariffs on Brazilian ethanol made from sugar cane. But without Brazil, can America meet its target of a 20% drop in gas consumption over ten years?

According to a Harris survey, more than 90% of Americans are recycling, but over 1/3rd of the entire U.S. population hasn't changed their lifestyle because they "did not know what to do" in order to be more green.
