America Recycles Day in RI

 

 

As part of an on-going effort to promote recycling right in the Ocean State, Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation and Keep Blackstone Valley Beautiful, Rhode Island's affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, are teaming up to test recycling knowledge in our state. 

 

Rhode Island residents are invited to take a brief 15-question online survey. The results, which will be released on America Recycles Day (November 15), will help guide public outreach strategies and educational programs.

Southern California is getting hit with more rain. The region has been getting drenched this week by a storm system that has caused some areas to be evacuated. The chance for some light rain is expected to continue through tonight and into the early hours of tomorrow morning before giving way to some sunshine. Some homes were buried in debris after heavy rainfall triggered mudslides in the mountain town of Wrightwood, about 80 miles northeast of Los Angeles.        Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with President Trump this weekend. The Ukrainian leader said the Florida meeting will discuss efforts to end the nearly four-year war with Russia. He told reporters the U.S. and Ukraine will look to "finalize as much as we can." Zelensky added that a 20-point peace plan is "90-percent ready."        President Trump says the U.S. launched "powerful and deadly" strikes on ISIS terrorists in Nigeria yesterday. He said the strikes were directed at terrorists in the northern part of the country who he has accused of killing Christians. U.S and Nigerian officials confirmed the two countries worked together on the strikes. The Pentagon released video of at least one missile being launched from a warship.        The 2026 numerals that will welcome in the new year in Times Square are being tested today. Just days before New Year's Eve, the giant 2026 numerals are being lit up. They're seven feet tall and are illuminated by 589 L-E-D lights. And for the first time, they offer an array of colors and patterns. Each light puck, as they're called, is programmable so it can match the designs on the New Year's Eve ball.        With Christmas over, the season of returns begin. The National Retail Federation estimates nearly 15-percent of all purchased holiday items will be returned this year. And that's costing consumers. Seventy-two percent of retailers will be hitting folks with charges for returns -- up from 66-percent last year.        The University of Michigan is hiring Kyle Whittingham to become its next football coach. ESPN reports Whittingham will sign a five-year deal to assume the position after stepping down from the same role at Utah earlier this month. This comes after Michigan fired Sherrone Moore following allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a staff member and subsequent criminal charges.
