Community & Education

Who's Responsibility is it?

"There is this story of four people - Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done, and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Everybody got angry about that because it was Somebody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Somebody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done." -Anonymous

We at reTHink Inc. believe that it is everybody's job to leave this planet clean and habitable for future generations.

Awareness and Education

According to the EPA, almost 75 % of the trash we generate is recyclable. Yet, in 2013, of the 254 million tons of trash produced by Americans, only about a third was recycled or composted.

Waste in landfills and oceans creates vast amounts of toxic pollution that impacts our health.

Here at reTHink, we believe real change can happen to our environment with a few simple steps like these:

C - Carry your reusable water bottle

H - Hesitate to use styrofoam

A - Avoid using plastic bags

N - No to plastic straws

G - Grab reusable silverware

E - Eliminate K-cups

"Small steps make a big difference"

Community Empowerment

reTHink works in the underprivileged neighborhoods to establish gardens that grow fresh produce.

We hire local people and give an opportunity to local small vendors through our zero-waste store.

We strive hard to give every member of our community a fair and equal opportunity regardless of their health, background, past experiences, and current social status.
