News Sources

News Sources are mainly feeds/blogs produced by Rhode Islanders. A few may be regional, but they have Rhode Island connections.

Some, but not all, blogs/feeds are indexed by category. The categorized sources are ones with focused topics ~ for instance, Transport Providence always concerns Transportation. The uncategorized sources cover several environmental topics, and/or are not focused on one topic.

If you produce a RI environment-related blog, you may request that it be included here. Contact Sue Korté.

Less Noise More Green

About gardening in a small suburban lot in Cranston, RI....

From the website:

"Less Noise, More Green is a quote from JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit.
'.. long ago in the quiet of the world, when there was less noise and more green...'

"This blog is about finding the quiet and learning skills to bring us closer to the green."

News from Other Sources

Some articles published in the Providence Journal are from the Associated Press, Washington Post, or other source. They do not mix in to any of the Projo feeds, so I add them via this feed.

Other articles I discover elsewhere that may interest ProvGardener readers are also added via this channel.

Northeast Organic Farming Assn RI News Farming, Food
Ocean Project Water
Partnership for Providence Parks News

Something is wrong with the links to posts dated July 2020 and earlier. It seems the URLs were changed. If you go to the website blog's page, you may find these posts (https://www.providenceparks.org/blog).

I don't know why the feed is duplicating entries. It's not so easy to eliminate them as far as I know. - ed.

Earlier items in this feed won't go to the source article because at the time they were published, the URL had a dot html at the end. Remove the .html and you will find the article, or use the RI Future search box on the lost page you get to and type some of the title words into it. The articles are still there!
