The ReSource Institute for Low Entropy Systems (RILES), founded in 1990, is an independent, nonprofit organization. RILES' work is to build a set of connected programs and institutions that nourish policies and technologies protecting public health and the environment. A cornerstone of this effort is RILES' work on sustainable sanitation and the policies that influence it. Project work includes:

- The design and implementation of a large, effective, and well-received composting toilet program in Quintana Roo, Mexico.
- Comprehensive health study in Chemax, a Mayan community in the Yucatan.
- Strategic planning for ecological public works in the US and Latin America.
- The establishment of the Center for Ecological Public Health at the Boston University School of Public Health.
- Organizing and policy work to stop the land application of sewage sludge.
- Education and technical advice through publication, public speaking, and consultation to nongovernmental organizations, academics, grassroots organizers and policymakers.
