Rethink the Bins

Rethink the Bins from Julia Goldstein, is a quick read that breaks down the confusion and intimidation of recycling. While going through the basics, Goldstein also reminds readers that each town is different and that we need to be doing some quick research ourselves to know what our local guidelines are. She lays out different definitions and explanations of the process of recycling so that readers are educated enough to know which steps to take next.
This is a book that we, as a country, have needed for a long time. Recycling does not need to be a confusing or intimidating task. Goldstein gives readers the tools to understand why each place has different rules and restrictions for their waste management programs, and what we as consumers can do to utilize those programs most effectively.

This is a well written, well researched and clear guide on what happens to waste after it is thrown it away. Then it provides ways in which we can take positive actions to both reduce waste and increase positive recycling habits, It is such a useful book to have around the house as a reminder that we can all do our part! I am so glad I got a chance to review it!

Let's face it, looking at all the bins and then back at all your recyclables, it can be overwhelming. It feels like there's a right and a wrong way to do it and everyone says something different. I loved this one for making it easy and less of a hassle. For me, between the kids and myself, it has always been a project every evening and now we have a plan that makes it all so much easier!
