The RIght Way
The Great Green Shoot Off of 2007
A Project of Sustainable RI

We need a moving picture. A brief, 1-4 minute, trailer to help launch a revolution. A video that will renew the Ocean State s commitment to a truth, which isn t inconvenient, but instead promises a happy, healthy future for everyone. Can you picture that? Can you inspire while being pragmatic? Can you compel people to take action? Make us laugh, cry, hope, and dream, and your work will get more than just a little credit.

Rhode Islanders, like most Americans, consume more than our share of resources and as a result negatively impact our world s capacity to support us economically, socially and environmentally. it s just plain wrong. But our size, intellectual resources and our history of independence makes our state the perfect proving ground for a new way of doing things. Read The RIght Way Official Documentation. Register Now!

About us
Sustainable Rhode Island, a project of the Apeiron Institute for environmental Living, is a statewide initiative to transform Rhode island into the nationsfirst Sustainable State. Driven by a host of speakers, programs, events, conferences, summits and campaigns throughout the year, we hope to catalyze the public and leadership to create tangible programs and initiatives that will move us closer to the goal of a sustainable state. By sustainable we mean not consuming resources or creating waste at rates faster than the systems we rely upon for life can safely replenish and renew.

Don't miss the next wave in the Ocean state s art scene. Join the green revolution!
