One of the largest anti-smoking groups is now going after cigarette makers for their trash.The Truth Initiative released a new video in an effort to combat the littering of cigarette butts. It debuted nationally last week during the MTV Video Music Award.The organization is tying this latest campaign into their public petition to get more businesses and public places to go smoke-free.Cigarette butts are the most littered item on the planet, and it’s the most picked up item from beaches all over the world.They contain hundreds of chemicals that show up in wildlife and waterways. The butts are made with a type of plastic that can take a decade or more to decompose.Cigarette makers have tried cleaning up their act over the years, but so far, nothing has really made a dent.There is a startup company that claims to have a biodegradable cigarette filter, which breaks down in a matter of days. The company says they are in talks with cigarette makers and are currently looking for a partner to start manufacturing the green filters. 1046

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Census Bureau has sped up the timetable on its website for crunching 2020 census numbers. On its website Friday, the bureau listed the deadline for processing data used to apportion the districts as Dec. 31. As recently as Thursday, it had listed a time frame of Oct. 31, 2020 to April 30, 2021 — an estimate based on a request for an extension that it submitted to Congress in April.The request passed the Democratic-controlled House as part of coronavirus-relief legislation but is now stalled in the Senate. The chamber’s inaction coincides with a memorandum Trump issued last week to try to exclude people living in the U.S. illegally from being included during the process for redrawing congressional districts.Civil rights activists worry the sped-up deadline could affect the thoroughness of the count. The census determines how .5 trillion in federal spending is distributed and how many congressional districts each state gets. Census Bureau officials have said it would be impossible to meet the year-end deadline.The current response rate is roughly 60 percent of the country, leaving four out of ten households needing to be officially counted. Those wanting to fill out the census online can head to 2020census.gov. 1264

On the Walton farm near Iowa City, Iowa, this year’s soybean crop is as good as it gets. But out here, most days are not easy, but Dave Walton finds the good in most days. That optimism could be why the Walton family has been on the farm so long.Walton is a sixth-generation soybean farmer in Iowa."I've got two sons that would like to farm, too,” says Walton.Walton says, perhaps more now than ever, there’s much anxiety about the future."We were already looking at lower profits, and this tariff issue has made it even worse."Of the 900 acres on the Walton's farm, 300 acres are for soybeans."We sell most of our soybeans to a river terminal," says Walton.The soybeans are then loaded onto a barge on the Mississippi, shipped down river and eventually arrive in China, where a growing middle class has an insatiable appetite for all things soy. "They use it mainly for animal feed, and also, they crush the oil out of it and use it for cooking," says Walton.Soybeans are by far the number one food and beverage export of the United States, bringing in billion a year.So, when the White House announced 25 percent tariffs on some Chinese imports, China struck back, placing a 25 percent tariff on U.S. grown soybeans in retaliation."Using soybeans as a negotiating tool is something the Chinese understood,” says Walton. “They knew that that's one of our largest exports, so it made sense for them to target soybeans."As a result of that, and other instabilities in the market, the price of soybeans has tumbled.“It's not fun to be a pawn in this," expresses Walton.It's not just exports like soybeans feeling the pain of the tariffs. Just across the river from Iowa in Moline, Illinois is home to John Deere.The farming equipment maker says if tariffs on steel imports cost more to make its iconic green and yellow machinery, it'll charge more.John Deere says it's determined to protect profits, which topped billion in the second quarter alone this year. It is cranking out equipment at a dizzying pace, with sales up 34 percent over last year.Those rising equipment costs also hit farmers.Walton says he doesn’t blame the president alone.“There's a bunch of moving pieces in trade."There was already somewhat of a restriction for U.S. beans going into China." Walton is now working other world markets to find a solution. He just returned from Europe, where there's a growing demand for soy as well."I would say my mindset has always been outside my own farm gate," Walton says. 2512

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (KGTV) - A partnership is turning around the lives of young people at risk in North County. As 10News explores Life in Oceanside, we’re turning our focus to the success of the Boys & Girls Club. One of the young people helped by the program is 17-year-old Hunter Meyer. Like many teenagers, he struggled to find himself. RELATED: Mayor Pete Weiss talks Life in Oceanside“I became someone who preferred to sneak out late, get into a lot of trouble and run-ins with police,” said Meyer. Meyer said he started hanging out with gang members in sixth grade. As a freshman, he was kicked out of high school. Life became more difficult for him. “We were drinking and I came back just feeling like I’ve lost everything. I kind of lost who I was, you know, and then the next day I tried to hang myself and my mom and little brother walked in. That was kind of the turning point where I realized things needed to change drastically,” Meyer said. RELATED: Oceanside businesses continue to rely on thriving military communityMonths later, Meyer found out he was referred to a program to help at-risk youth called Oceanside Youth Partnership. It was started by Oceanside Police Lt. Valdavinos. “The people he was dealing with didn't have positive relationship with law enforcement and we weren't getting to them early enough,” said Ashley Sanchez, an OYP crime prevention specialist and mentor. Meyer was in the first class, spending two hours per week for 12 weeks to be redirected away from gangs.

Two years since the first session, OYP has had many success stories like Hunter, who has been working for the Boys & Girls Club since 2018. 1853
