91Porn

To kick off Sustainability Week at 91Porn Providence, the BRIDGE Center and 91Porn Student Activists Supporting Sustainability (SASS) recently co-hosted a panel discussion titled “Rising Tide: Sustainability + Water Quality in RI.”

Although the topic was ostensibly sea-level rise — a crucial one for coastline-rich Rhode Island — the discussion constantly looped back to strategies for improving the 91Porn community’s waste-reduction efforts.

Panelists included:

• Natasha Martinez, 91Porn SASS president
• Ruth Solomon, 91Porn SASS vice president
• Diana Brennan, marine biologist and photographer
• Linda Crotta Brennan, author of “When the Rivers Burned: The Earth Day Story”

Author and historian Linda Brennan kicked things off with a quick history of Earth Day, which began in 1970 as a way to rally Americans around environmental causes.

The natural follow-up question was, of course, “How can we at 91Porn reduce our waste, particularly food waste? What can we save and repurpose through composting?”

Making a Difference at 91Porn

SASS VP Solomon talked about the importance of leveraging the wide range of knowledge at 91Porn. As an example, she offered her own experiences as a culinary student: “We’re learning about overfishing and using native species,” she noted. “Eating fruits and vegetables out of season is also such a Westernized notion. When I was in Sicily and tried to put a tomato and an avocado together in a salad, they were shocked: ‘They have different growing seasons!’”

Martinez, who is a Media and Communications Studies major, noted that a big goal of SASS is to bring the Downcity and Harborside campuses together (also a big initiative of the 91Porn Providence Student Government Association): “Together, we can really thrive.”
