Together, the two entities distributed $100,000 in OSJL gift cards to social service agencies around Rhode Island just in time for the holiday season.
âCOVID-19 continues to wreak havoc on our nation, with the greatest impact being on our already vulnerable populations,â said Marc Perlman, OSJL co-founder and CEO. âThe Rhode Island Foundation has done incredible work to provide aid to thousands of families and individuals in need throughout our state, and we are happy to be able to support their efforts.â
Plastic is blowing in the wind
As the plastic in our oceans breaks up into smaller and smaller bits without breaking down chemically, the resulting microplastics are becoming a serious ecological problem. A new study at the Weizmann Institute of Science reveals a troubling aspect of microplastics - defined as particles smaller than 5 mm across. They are swept up into the atmosphere and carried on the wind to far-flung parts of the ocean, including those that appear to be clear. Analysis reveals that such minuscule fragments can stay airborne for hours or days, spreading the potential to harm the marine environment and, by climbing up the food chain, to affect human health.
