The Environment Council of Rhode Island is a coalition of more than 60 Rhode Island organizations that advocate for policies to protect and enhance the environment. Our policy priorities would address some of Rhode Island’s most pressing environmental issues.
Quiet Clean RI is a volunteer group of Rhode Island residents that seeks to remove fossil fuels from landscape maintenance, beginning with the elimination of gas-powered leaf blowers in Rhode Island. We believe that taking care of our green spaces and outdoor areas need not put people's health and our environment at risk. Our goals are to: educate the public about the dangers of gas-powered landscaping tools; promote cleaner, quieter, healthier alternatives; advocate for legislation to accelerate the transition away from gas-powered landscape equipment.
