In 2017, we co-organized a film screening of ‘A Plastic Ocean‘ with our partner EcoRI News. The event was hosted at Providence Rhode Island’s Cable Car Cinema and was well attended by local environmental advocates and enthusiasts. The film does a beautiful job of presenting a horrific problem that we are now facing – plastics in the ocean.

The plastic problem cannot be dismissed as anything but a human produced product of the anthropocene, and the world is very fortunately starting to take notice.

Since the screening, we have supported specimen collections of our local coldwater coral, Astrangia poculata, for researchers at Roger Williams University and Boston University. Studies have revealed that microplastics are found within the corals, and as such these are one of a few key indicator species of the extent of the plastic problem in a given area. A variety of very exciting studies are underway.

The external page linked here offers a neutral compilation of slot machine reviews and related notes on pokies that are commonly discussed for Australian players. It also outlines typical bonus types and payment methods that may be encountered when researching online casinos. Casual players and researchers looking for summary-level descriptions of popular slot games in Australia may find the consolidated overview useful. https://agenciatres60.com/best-casino-slot-machines-to-play-in-australia-2/
