The document discusses an upcoming waste reduction and recycling campaign at Harvard Business School. It introduces the student sustainability associates who will lead initiatives this year, including a Green Cup competition between sections. The presentation reviews HBS's sustainability achievements and waste diversion programs, discusses challenges with recycling, and provides guidance on proper disposal of different materials. Sections attending the kickoff presentation will receive a point toward winning the Green Cup competition.
The purpose of this project was to raise awareness and contribute to sustainability in our communities and the world. The presentation provides information on recycling plastic bottles, conserving energy, and eating locally-grown vegetables.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

5. The Facts
• We produce a lot of waste
– The average person generates over 4 pounds of trash per day (about 1.5 tons per year)
– In 2009, Americans produced enough trash to circle the earth 24 times
– Americans throw away (not recycle) 25 million plastic bottles every hour
• We’ve gotten better about recycling our waste, but have a long way to go
– Over 75% of waste is recyclable, but only about 35% is recycled (up from 10% in 1990)
• Recycling waste can generate some serious value
– On average, it costs $30 per ton to recycle trash compared to $50 per ton to send it to
the landfill, and $65-$75 per ton to incinerate it
– The 36 billion aluminum cans in landfills last year had a scrap value of more than $600
million. Over the past twenty years we've thrown away aluminum cans worth over $12
billion on today's market
– Every pound of recycled PET (plastic) used in place of virgin material reduces energy use
in plastic production by 84% and greenhouse gas emissions by 71%

6. The Problem
• It is nearly impossible to avoid generating waste and still be a
functional, happy, and healthy person
• The average person is aware of the reduce, reuse, recycle
concept, but this awareness often doesn’t translate to action
• Some common challenges include:
– Convenience – Who has time to do dishes or wash towels when there
are disposable ones? Why would I go searching for a recycling bin
when there’s a trash bin right here?
– Uncertainty about what to throw away vs. recycle vs. compost
– Not a top priority
What has been a challenge for you?
7. Waste Reduction & Recycling at HBS
HBS is working to make waste reduction & recycling easier for you
• HBS has single stream recycling, which means that everything that can be
recycled goes into one bin
• Waste bins everywhere, including trash and recycling bins inside and
outside of every classroom in Aldrich
• Composting available at Spangler Grill and performed by Spangler dining
staff (waste on conveyor)
• Disposable containers and napkins that are recyclable or compostable
• Other waste reduction & recycling initiatives:
– Used item drives for donation (gently used cosmetics, clothing, office supplies,
housewares)
– Discount on coffee when you bring your own mug
– November 6: Receive $0.67 off food & drink purchases in celebration of HBS’ 67%
recycling rate!
Common myth: containers with any trace of food can’t be recycled. This is no longer true as recycling technologies have advanced and can process materials that have some traces of food.
Tip: when recycling boxes, make sure they do not have packing tape
Call out what can’t be recycled (will be shown on subsequent pages):
Napkins, tissues, or paper towels (compost)
Plastic utensils (trash)
Straws (trash)
Styrofoam (trash)
Coffee grounds & single serve cups (compost)
Plastic bags (trash)
If composting isn’t available, Greenware (plant-based plastics, #7) should be thrown in the trash because they will contaminate the recycling facility.
