What We're About RE Sources is a non-profit environmental education organization founded in 1982 as Bellingham Community Recycling. We build healthy communities by promoting and supporting waste reduction; advocating for clean water, air and energy; empowering schools to reduce their carbon footprint and putting sustainability tools into your hands. Our Vision Healthy, prosperous communities, living in balance with the natural world Our mission RE Sources promotes sustainable communities through recycling,
education, advocacy, and conservation of natural resources. This place we call home is a very desirable
place to live because of its remarkable beauty, recreation
options—skiing, sailing, biking, kayaking, hiking, backpacking and
more—and relative affordability. These are things we value, as do the
newcomers who move here each year. But more people means more stress
and strain on those resources, particularly our air and water, that
make our home so attractive. That’s why the work of RE Sources is
becoming increasingly critical. These programs include: the North Sound Baykeeper, an educator and advocate for the marine waters of Whatcom and Skagit Counties; The RE Store, seller and salvager of used building materials; The Sustainable Living Center, a place to gather and learn about sustainable practices; and Youth Programs in the schools, focusing on waste, air and climate change.
