- Trash cans on Fifth Avenue between 42nd Street to 61st Street in Manhattan were replaced with newer, sleeker modern receptacles.
- New Jersey drivers keep running over baby terrapin turtles, but experts are hoping a change in status from a “species of interest” to a “species of special concern” will help protect them, along with more education efforts and habitat conservation.
