When I was a senior NCO, I used whatever influence I had to help enlisted families keep food on the table. After I retired, I carried on thru Feeding America. Because no one should go hungry.

2 teens have developed a groundbreaking ultrasonic device that removes microplastics from water.
The pen-sized device uses sound waves to effectively filter out microplastics, which are notoriously difficult to remove from water sources, & can be used in large-scale water filtration systems!
