I must admit, today's story is not the one I was rooting for.  My pick, "College Gossip Website" came in second (the title does sound terrible, but it is actually a very interesting story.)  But alas, what I think does not matter.  It's all up to you.  So with 46% of the vote, "Recycling in Arkansas" it is.

I am a huge fan of all things green.  I spend a great deal of time outdoors and most of my meager vacation time is spent either skiing or climbing mountains (much to my mother's dismay).  With that said, I do not recycle. Just writing that makes me cringe.  I feel like quite the hypocrite.  In fact, I don't even know what my recycling options are here in the natural state.  So I hope today's story will inspire all of us - myself included - to dispose of our waste more properly.

Thank you to everyone who has been sending in your suggestions as to which way I should try to tackle this story.  As of now, I have an interview set up with Carol Beavis who runs the Regional Recycling and Waste Reduction District.  They have a fabulous website which I hope will tide you over until my story airs on the 6PM news:

See y'all then.  And if you have any questions about recycling that you would like Carol to answer, email me at kfisher@katv.com.

P.S. I would like to apologize to everyone for my delinquent blogging.  I've been mildly overwhelmed with all the twittering, emailing, and live web cam updates.  However, I think I finally have a system down.  So you can expect daily blogs from here on out.
