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.
