However, members of Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) and its Longwood campus now have the chance to do just that. By participating in Go Cold Turkey 2004 between Nov 12 and 24, students, staff and faculty at FAS, Harvard Medical School (HMS), Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and Harvard School of Dental Medicine can notably decrease the greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts of their on-campus energy use. More than that, they have the chance...
