RI is now committed, as you will see in this announcement from Audubon, to completely, and quickly, eliminating their use. Their investment in sewers, started many years ago, has been an economic and environmental boon? How?
You, too, can help push positive changes by advocating for the same within your city or state. Waste is a key element (not creating as much, and properly disposing of what is created) in the march towards building a cleaner future. Our disposal systems are, in many places, old and antiquated. Population explosions are putting a heavy burden on these decaying systems.
Congratulations to RI and their citizens for pushing ahead with moving away from our old methods and investing in building a foundation of future prosperity.
"You did it! Your efforts on behalf of Audubon mean aquatic habitat will be protected from cesspools draining into our rivers, streams and salt ponds.
Thank you for calling, writing, emailing and advocating for a cleaner environment for Rhode Island.
Please take a moment to send your representative and senator a brief note thanking them for passing this bill. They would really appreciate hearing that their understanding the difference between a cesspool and a septic system and of cesspools leaching pathogens was critical.
Audubon, with your support, continues to fight for a clean environment that benefits humans and wildlife. We can't do it without you and we are so very appreciative of your help.
The coalition that campaigned for this bill focused on the importance our environment plays in the health of our state - environmental, human, and economic health."
