Send your plastic bags through interoffice mail to be recycled!
In case you didn’t know, plastic bags CAN be recycled at MIT. No more taking them home from the office or shipping them back to the grocery store. Although plastic bags do not go in the commingles bins with the rest of the plastics, the process is just as simple. Stuff them into an interoffice envelope and mail them to "Recycling, NW62." You can even include bubble wrap, journal wrap, air pockets, Ziplock bags and plastic wrap—as long as they are clean and contain no food debris.
Red Fire Farm brings Community Supported Agriculture to MIT!
Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Red Fire Farm and MIT employees, there will be fresh, organic veggies delivered to MIT for CSA members for a second year. Ryan Voiland, from Red Fire Farm, visited MIT during IAP and piqued the interest of many MIT community members. The second season of distribution will again be near the Stata Center starting at the beginning of June.
Produce will not be sold to non-members, and shares at the MIT distribution site are limited and filling up fast. Email Red Fire Farm with questions.
Community Supported Agriculture is a partnership between a local farm and its shareholders. Members pay an upfront fee for the season, and each week are given a share of the yield of the farm in the form of fresh, seasonal produce. CSAs have become more popular across the state and across the country, as more people take an active interest in what they are eating and where their food is coming from. There may be a CSA that delivers to a location near you!
