Answer 1

Depends on the audience, but I think recycling is an interest to everyone right now.  There are many freecycle groups (look for them in yahoo) where you can get a lot of good stuff free - or post things to give away stuff instead of tossing it out.   Not enough people use the city pick up recycling either (at least where I live) and if everyone did recycle it would save the city a ton of money...  some people just aren't sure how to do, what to recycle or not to recycle.  Basic info given in one minute would probably be of interest to a wide audience.
