Procter & Gamble’s Crest® Pro-Health™ Sensitive Shield™, kicked-off the Summer of Sensitivity campaign today in New York City’s Penn Station in partnership with Alison Sweeney and Feeding America - the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity. As part of the promotion, commuters and nearby pedestrians were encouraged to stop by and “trade-up” their sensitivity toothpaste for Crest Pro-Health - the ONLY leading toothpaste to protect against teeth sensitivity and all these other areas dentists check most: cavities, gingivitis, tartar, plaque, fresh breath and whitening. Unlike the leading sensitivity toothpaste, Crest Pro-Health Sensitive Shield offers sensitivity protection plus other important oral care benefits that provide all-around protection for a healthy mouth.

The American Le Mans Series reports it reduced its petroleum usage by nearly 50 percent in its most recent race.
Series president Scott Atherton delivered the message today to journalists and government officials in Washington at the National Press Club. “Ten days ago at Road America, renewable fuel use by our race cars reduced petroleum consumption by 48 percent compared to traditional all-petroleum racing fuel,” Atherton said. “According to the Department of Energy, if such a result was translated to the U.S. vehicle fleet, the nation could decrease imported oil dependency by half, saving $175 billion every year inside our economy.”
