The Valley Shore YMCA holds the Cedar Lake Triathlon series each summer in Chester, Connecticut. Their mission is to share sportsmanship, a healthy lifestyle, achievement of personal goals and develop a stronger racing community. There is a 500-yard swim, 10-mile bike ride, and 3-mile run. The triathlon series benefits the Valley Shore YMCA Race4Chase Youth Triathlon program to introduce young athletes to the sport of Triathlon in memory of Chase Michael Anthony Kowalski who lost his life with classmates at Sandy Hook in 2012. At each triathlon, the YMCA provided plastic bottled water and disposable cups. ReThink Disposable helped make the switch to reusable silicone water bottles and reusable cups. With purple return stations and signage, our New England Zero Waste Organizer collected the used bottles and cups for sanitization and use at the following events. ReThink Disposable helped make 3 of the 5 series zero-waste!
