  Several months ago, Deanna and nine other students went to see the MET school's landlord — Jim Reed, executive director of the Housing Authority — seeking his support in starting a recycling program.
  ...
  At the time, the housing agency didn't have a recycling program either, although Reed was planning to start one. He was receptive. Now, the private firm that serves his agency's buildings is picking up sorted trash.
  
  Reed has nothing but praise for the results of the students' efforts so far, but the best is yet to come.
  
  The Environmental Awareness Foundation plans to sponsor them on a trip to Sweden, where they will get a more global perspective on recycling.
  
  The students "might be able to provide good insight into public policy statewide," Reed said.
  
  Sweden recycles about 80 percent of its trash. Rhode Island households, by comparison, recycle 20 percent.

  "We wanted to not only build new housing, but to also have the opportunity to change a community," said James Reed, executive director of the Newport Housing Authority.By providing housing for people with moderate incomes, as well as for those on the lower end of the economic scale, the city hopes to create a sustainable community, where crime won't be tolerated and where people care about their property and feel connected to the larger city of Newport.
  
  The federal funds are coming from a program called Hope VI, which requires that services also be added.Already, the program seems to have improved the lives of many residents, Mr. Reed said.He noted that more than 200 children from the project now attend a new preschool nearby and that 57 of Tonomy's residents have completed a job-training and placement program.
  ...
  Mr. Reed said he was confident that the replacement issue would not prevent Newport Heights from being completed."It's about opportunity for good housing," he said.
