PFC?
Not the People's Front of Cornwall? Or maybe the Cornish People's Front?
It had to be said...

Plastic bag campaign falls apart at the seams

This is already done in South Africa
Charging for bags, that is. The reason is mainly to stop a syndrome here that's become known as the "national flower" -- plastic bags sprouting all over the countryside from unthinking people tossing them aside.
Having said that, I'm not sure that charging for bags has made much diffference. I routinely see even the poorest people walking out of stores with tiny purchases in a plastic bag. It's likely that they asked for the bag without even realising that they just paid for it.
George Lucas announces Star Wars TV spin-off

Who's the director?
For quite a while (long before this announcement) I've thought that it would be a really good idea to do a live-action Star Wars TV series in the vein of Band of Brothers; Empire vs. Rebels in the trenches, as it were. BoB was a really good show and I think it would translate well if done properly.
Of course to get something of that calibre would require a director other than George. Don't get me wrong; he has great vision (mostly) -- zillions of Star Wars fans have shown that -- but I've found his directorial abilities to be rather lacking.
