Rhode Island gets environmental-theme license plate

And the latest addition to one of Rhode Islanders' seemingly favorite pastimes is ... the osprey license plate.

If the lore is true, an Ocean State resident takes keen interest in procuring a low-numbered license plate. But a new license plate unveiled this afternoon aims for those who like to wear their environmental conscience on their cars.

The plate bears four blue waves from the right moving to the center while the left side is taken up by a large image of an osprey sitting on a nest. The plate bears three words "conservation through education."

The Audubon Society of Rhode Island and Save the Bay jointly unveiled the new plate today. Twenty dollars from each plate bought will go to environmental education. The fee for a plate is $40, according to the Web site of the Audubon Society of Rhode Island.
