Do you know what happens to our recyclables after they leave campus? What about waste, or food composted in the dining halls? Courtney Forrester, Harvard Waste Reduction and Compliance Lead, and Dailey Brannin, Harvard Recycling Services Supervisor, will break it all down during this presentation. Learn about waste stewardship at Harvard, and how to get involved to various waste reduction initiatives!

This event is free and open to all HUID holders, but registration is encouraged, as seating is limited.

Come to the always-popular Freecycle in Kresge Atrium next to Sebastian’s Cafe on Wednesday, April 29, 11 am-2 pm! Bring extra housewares, clothes and shoes, accessories, books, school and office supplies, or other small re-useable items in good condition. Pick up something new-to-you, make friends, and build a sustainability-minded community.

Join us for a Freecycle at the Earth Day Festival! Drop off reusable goods you no longer need, and browse a fantastic selection of items brought by others. Find some secondhand items to gift this year. Popular items include books, clothes, and working household goods.

Everyone is welcome, and no donation is necessary to shop.

Have you been holding onto a broken item in the hopes of repairing it? (Or perhaps found a nearly-working item at a Freecycle?) If so, come to our Fixit Clinic at the Cabot Science Library! With help, you’ll disassemble your item, troubleshoot the issue, and (hopefully) repair it! Register your broken item ahead of time here.

Don’t have anything to fix but have some fixing expertise to share? Sign up to be a coach here!
