PeaceJam BotExploring Environmental and Transportation Issues around Rhode Island College

Project Created: Wednesday, December 14, 2011

Project Leader: Malinda B

Location: Global

Project Goal: The goal of the project is to raise awareness about environmental problems around the Woonasquaucket River in Providence, Rhode Island. Also, I focused on exploring alternative transportation for Rhode Island College.

Project Cause: The root cause of the environmental problems were industries and factories polluting the Woonasquatucket River fromt the industrial revolution to the present.

Project Plan: I planned a tour of the Woonsquatucket River Watershed to raise awareness about the environmental problems with the river and the green space we have here in Providence. A map of the Woonasquatucket River Greenway was made and will be placed in the Student Union at Rhode Island College.

This sounds like a great way to get things started around building awareness and getting folks committed to tackling the environmental problems surrounding the Woonasquatucket River. We look forward to hearing more as it unfolds!
