. . . G N I L C Y C E R BEFORE

WHAT DOES REDUCE AND REUSE MEAN? Reducing means eliminating waste before it is produced. Reusing means finding new uses for items that might otherwise be discarded. By making a few changes in your purchasing patterns and daily habits, you can reduce the amount of waste your produce.

HOW DO I GET STARTED? Take a look at the items you purchase and use in your daily life, and the impact these have on the environment. Is the product made from recycled content? Is the item meant to last or be discarded after one use? Can the container by reused or recycled? Can the product be bought in bulk or large sizes?

REDUCE AND REUSE

e s u e R d n a e c u d Re

Consider not only the product, but also the packaging, which account for almost one-third of our garbage. Out of every $11 we spend on food, $1 goes for packaging. Avoid products that are over packaged, such as a bottle inside of a box. Contact manufacturers and ask them to offer products with less packaging.

AT HOME:

By making small changes in our daily lives, we can collectively make a difference. Rememberâ&#x20AC;Ś every effort helps, regardless of how small. Take this opportunity to leave less behind for the future. For more information feel free to call us at (323) 848-6404.

AT WORK: 1) R educe paper waste by making two-sided copies. 2) Edit documents on the computer to reduce the need to print multiple drafts. 3) C arry your lunch in reusable containers rather than paper bags. 4) Bring a coffee cup from home instead of using disposable cups. 5) W henever possible, use email instead of snail mail. 6) Use recycled paper; encourage your purchasing department to buy recycled content products. 7) Use scrap paper printed on only one side for scratch paper.

AT THE STORE: 1) C arry your own a canvas bag. 2) Buy detergents, cleaners and other items in large sizes or refillable containers. 3) Buy reusable shaving razors rather than disposables. 4) Avoid products that are overpackaged. 5) Buy products made from recycled and recyclable content. 6) Buy durable products that are easy to repair and have long warranties.

1) Use sponges and dish towels for cleaning and drying instead of paper towels. 2) Reduce yard clippings by composting or leaving cut grass on the lawn. 3) Borrow or rent items you use infrequently. 4) Mend or repair clothes and appliances instead of replacing them or throwing them away. 5) Make cleaning rags out of worn clothes, towels and sheets. 6) Donate unwanted furniture, appliances, and other items to thrift stores and charities. 7) Use plastic and paper grocery bags as trash can liners. 8) Pass on magazines and books to hospitals, senior centers and friends. 9) Practice preventative maintenance for longer wear. 10) Reduce junk mail on line at www.dmachoice.org or www.mailpreferenceservice.com. Service is free on line; a $1.00 fee for mailed back forms. For further information call (323) 848-6404.

Every time you go shopping there are hundreds of items competing for your attention and dollars. We used to buy high-quality items that lasted. Now we are tempted to buy inexpensive things meant to be thrown away after one use (e.g. disposable cameras, razors and coffee cups). It is time to get back to buying quality products that have a long life and are easy to repair.

Creative Nonfiction 101

Ever thought your life could be a book? Or perhaps you've thought about writing a personal essay. This course will give you an introduction to the growing world of Creative Nonfiction. What makes a nonfiction work creative and how can we incorporate the creative part of "creative nonfiction?" Memoirs are literary accounts of something factual (Merriam-Webster definition: a narrative composed from personal experience), and what makes them different from traditional forms of nonfiction like the autobiography and biography is their ability to take interesting and new forms, crossing genres, sometimes incorporating fiction and the lyrical essay. We will explore notable works by Patti Smith, Joe Brainard, and James Baldwin, to name a few, and you will get to try your hand in this ever-timely genre. Please bring a notebook and something to write with.
