Every 15 Minutes - A Moving Event

Every couple of years, The Youth Center arranges for the Every 15 Minutes program to happen at Los Al. It's huge production and incorporates dozens of people and agencies to create a moving impact for our school community. 

Thanks to Conner Brown and Los Al's Focus Studios, everyone can benefit from the program. From the personal choices of the actors, to the impact of "the walking dead" on their classmates, this program saves lives.

Take the 15 minutes to watch the excellent video produced by our high school students and their advisors. And, when you see them, thank the actors and production team for all their efforts. Amazing.

Chances are you have ingested microplastics without even knowing. 

Society’s increasing use of cheap plastic has infiltrated microplastics into the environment, including in what you eat!

Microplastics are small particles of plastic that originate from larger pieces like tires and plastic bags. They can also be made for a specific purpose, like when a factory produces makeup and beauty products. Microplastics are not only a factor of plastic pollution but can also consist of potentially dangerous materials.

“They contain various additives and other non-intentionally added substances,” Dr. Dana Kühnel said in an interview with the European Science-Media Hub.

Microplastics are made of threatening materials and have major repercussions for our ecosystems. These plastics do not biodegrade, which causes them to accumulate in the environment forever. Marine animals often ingest this...
