We got your plans for curbing pollution and your shout-out to the arts -- both from our country's leading man and lady. See how news stories really can inspire us to be better people. And if you haven't already stomped out your butts, do it now... or pay up those extra pennies. Good news coming at you, here at The Brief.

  • Smokers get the onus. (as it should be.)
  • Arts in Ameirca get an Obama boost.
  • From one family to another... A news story that inspired action.
  • The Prez has a plan. A pollution plan, that it.
  • File this one under Good News for sure: 12-year old ain't the daddy.
  • Caroline Walker is Tonic's Senior Editor, fusing her experience with media production -- writing, editing, video production -- and nonprofit advocacy work.
