Frequent Sea Change Radio listeners know that weâve covered many California-related environmental issues over the years â and for good reason. As the countryâs most populous state, itâs an important barometer of our progress in the fight to become more sustainable. But what about our nationâs smallest state, Rhode Island? It counts too. This week, as we mark another year, we learn about the environmental issues facing little Rhode Island with Tim Faulkner, the Executive Editor of ecoRI news. Faulkner and host Alex Wise explore the challenges facing the alternative energy industry there as well as some of the long term policy goals that Rhode Islandâs state government has set forth.
