Local politicians and advocates gathered to call for statewide reductions in greenhouse gasses. This excellent video was produced by Robert Malin of South County Productions.

Building Green in R.I. Print E-mail
Tuesday, 06 November 2007
Last weekend, I visited a very cool, off-the-grid, environmentally friendly home in Hope Valley. This was one of the stops on the annual Green Buildings Open House tour organized by the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association. Ray Cayer's round house, built of concrete, is durable, well-insulated, easy to build and maintain, affordable, and crafted mainly from local materials. Check out our exclusive NNN Slideshow for a narrated, five-minute tour. Also: Click here for the NESEA Web site about the Green Homes tour (if you missed this one, there will be another one next October). Click here for Ray's Web site about his round-house project. p1020898.jpg

Commercial fishermen are out on the Bay every day bringing home the catch, and they depend on a clean environment and healthy fish populations to keep the rest of us in fish & chips. NNN's executive producer DJ Johnson spent a day on the water aboard URI's Cap'n Bert to find out what the fishing life is like. You can try it too -- a few more trips, open to the public, are scheduled for Sept. 22 & 25 and Oct. 2. Click here for more info.
