Students in Freshman Advising Seminar 1.A23, "Achieving MIT's
Environmental Goals," participated in all phases of MIT's first waste
audit during fall 2003.  Hundreds of pounds of waste from sample MIT
dormitories, offices and the Stratton Student Center were sorted and
catalogued on three consecutive Tuesdays in September and October, 2003.
Results of the audit point to numerous opportunities to improve
recycling and waste reduction activities at MIT, as well as to potential
cost savings for the Institute.  FAS students will report on the waste
audit data and analysis, and will share their recommendations for
improving waste management at MIT.
Light refreshments will be provided.
