Pollution Prevention Education for Residents
The University of Rhode Island Home*A*Syst Program is a voluntary residential pollution prevention program. We provide workshops, technical assistance, publications, and other educational resources and tools to individuals, community leaders, groups and organizations, and local, state, and Federal agencies to promote informed decision-making. We work in partnership with others to train residents to take actions to protect their health and the environment.

We work in partnership with our sister Extension Water Quality Programs, the Watershed Hydrology Laboratory, and the Environmental Data Center.
