1. Illinois has one of the highest rates of lead poisoning in the country, according to a recent article from the Daily Herald. Lead paint poisoning is among the top preventable health risks in the area. With the older buildings on Olivet's campus, is there possibly any lead paint hanging around? What are the health risks of breathing in lead paint and how can we get rid of lead paint if we have it? This would require a lot of research and talking to people. Just thought it was an interesting idea.
2. Cooking instead of eating out is a good way to eat healthier and really know what you're eating. Are there any students on campus who cook all the time to avoid Sodexo because it's healthier? Why do people on campus cook? Do they actually cook or just warm up frozen food from Wal-Mart? Are there any cooking classes on campus or some around Bourbonnais? This is just a fun little piece that I'm thinking about.
