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.
