Do the research and prepare a set of instructions that will show general readers how to become more environmentally informed consumers and how to find, identify, evaluate, and compare environmentally friendly consumer goods such as appliances, building materials, and household products. Design your instructions as a foldout brochure (page 460) or a one-page (doublesided)

handout, or in a format requested by your instructor.

• The Environment at MIT at
