Synopsis
If you want to reduce the amount of waste you generate but aren’t sure where to begin, Rethink the Bins shows you how. This book will help you:
- Understand what happens to waste after the bins leave your curb or building, • Implement best practices for recycling and composting, and
- Create SMART goals around waste reduction and recycling.
Rethink the Bins clears up the many myths and mysteries of what happens to the nearly 8 pounds of trash that Americans discard every day. You will feel empowered to start with small changes that make a difference and become more confident that the items you toss into recycling and compost bins are actually being recycled or composted.
Once you have made changes at home, you will probably want to share the message with your friends and neighbors. One person or one family can make a tiny difference. Thousands or millions of households doing the same can change the world.
Rethink the Bins is your next step on a path to a less wasteful future and recycling that works.
