Hello,<br><br>
A freshman seminar titled <b>Achieving MIT’s Environmental Goals,
</b>1.A23 is planning <b>three separate waste audits</b> at the end of
September and the beginning of October. This 5 student class needs
help sorting the samples of trash that are collected from three different
areas on campus. These will be a fun events with educational,
economical and environmental benefits.<br><br>
<b>WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A WASTE AUDIT?<br>
</b>Waste audit means finding out how much paper, glass, food waste, etc.
is discarded in your waste stream. Waste characterization information
helps in planning how to reduce waste, set up recycling programs, and
conserve money and resources. <br><br>
<b>WHAT WOULD YOU DO?<br>
</b>Volunteers will be sorting through bags of trash and recyclables from
the Student Center, New House, and Building 17A. These materials
will be carefully segregated, weighed, and cataloged. We will
provide safety equipment, but you will get a little messy while doing
this so dress accordingly. <b>Food and beverages will be supplied
at the event.<br><br>
