  • Friday Five Follow-up from The Washington Post, 4/28/21, Environmental Justice article - Deadly air pollutant ‘disproportionately and systematically’ harms Americans of color, study finds "Black, Latino and Asian Americans face higher levels of exposure to fine particulate matter from traffic, construction and other sources" and Climate Change article Joanne Chory is using plants to save the planet "In the Breakthrough Prize video, Chory laid out a vision for a new kind of agriculture. She wanted to create “ideal plants” — crops like wheat or rice that are bred to store huge amounts of carbon in their roots. If enough farmers replanted their fields with these engineered species, she said, they could pull as much as 20 percent of the carbon dioxide emitted by humans out of the atmosphere each year."
