What is Rethink?

You may be aware of the three “R’s”: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle but it is vital that you also Rethink.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rethink are standards for sustainable living. You can rethink about the waste you produce by using alternative products and considering how you can further reduce your environmental footprint.

However, it's not enough just to put recyclables in the bin; you must rethink about what you can do to root out unnecessary wastefulness. For example, bring your own bag to the store to avoid receiving a single use plastic bag when you shop. You can also look for recycled content in products you make purchases.

How should I start to rethink?

You can start to practice rethink at any time; particularly when you purchase and discard items.

Minimizing the amount of waste you create can bring about a more sustainable environment for future generations. Rethink before throwing away an item you think is broken, worn out, or is no longer wanted. Before discarding any item, first ask yourself the following questions:

• Can it be reused?

• Is it repairable?

• Is it recyclable?

• Can I place the item on LA County’s material exchange website, www.LACoMAX.com?

Finding environmentally friendly alternatives rather than wasting is the easiest and most convenient way one can begin to rethink.
