Invest to Improve Roads, Bridges and Sidewalks to Maximize Positive Impacts:
Rhode Island Campaign for Producer Responsibility
The Johnston Landfill is estimated to reach capacity in 24 years, and our current waste management system is simply unsustainable.
We need more products to be recycled and taken out of the waste stream, but we can't leave that burden solely to Rhode island cities and towns. We need manufacturers to be engaged in taking back their products, and to create green jobs by recycling them into new products.
Rhode Island Zero Mercury Campaign
