Join host Andy Green as he meets passionate Rhode Islanders that are creating a statewide composting effort to ensure food waste doesn’t end up in the landfill and protects ocean heath instead.

Healthy Soils, Healthy Seas Rhode Island is an innovative project that aims to inspire long-lasting environmentally responsible behavior by tackling ocean pollution at its root: on land.
Funded by 11th Hour Racing and supported by Clean Ocean Access, the initiative brings together composting efforts across the state in partnership with existing food-waste-diversion groups: The Compost Plant, Rhodeside Revival, and Aquidneck Community Table. The three partners serve as the boots-on-the-ground team that will manage all commercial and residential composting collection and processing with an initial focus on Aquidneck Island.
The project strives to protect and improve ocean health by establishing an innovative and integrated materials management solution that brings together non-profit organizations, academia, government, local businesses, and industry. By encouraging people to think critically about their waste footprints, Healthy Soils, Healthy Seas RI aims to spark long-lasting behavior change that empowers people to reevaluate the need for low-and-no value materials that enter the landfill, or worse, end up polluting our oceans.
