This document summarizes the "Sort It!" campaign launched by a team to promote recycling and reduce garbage among the altMBA cohort. The team conducted a survey to learn how much garbage members produce weekly before launching awareness, action, and impact posters over 3 weeks. They asked the altMBA community to audit their own garbage, recycle more, and share experiences on a Slack channel dedicated to the campaign.

2. Why garbage?
EPA estimates that 75% of solid waste
is recyclable, but only 30% of it is
actually recycled.
We realized we have very different
attitudes and knowledge towards
recycling. As a result, we noted that
tackling waste is a priority in 鍖ghting
global warming and something that
everyone can do on a daily basis.
We extended the discussion to altMBA
to learn more and to raise interest
before our campaign was launched.

4. Campaign Design
Pre-Slack, we posed this question:
"How many bags of garbage do you
throw away each week?"
Posters over a 3-week period
week 1: awareness posters
week 2: action posters
week 3: impact posters
Post-Slack, we ask altMBAers to
comment on their own experiences and
share the Sort It! campaign with their
own tribes.
