redesigning Cornell's waste-sorting experience.
Taylor studies marine conservation ecology within Environmental and Sustainability Sciences, but researches how and what we discard on campus. She became interested in Cornell's waste system after being certified as a Master Composter of Tomkins County in 2015. Later that year she joined WasteNot and helped co-found and direct the student organization Cornell Thrift, to help address components of the huge material waste problem on campus. She leads the research and project coordination efforts for the team.

Irene is a senior in Design and Environmental Analysis who believes that research and design work hand in hand. Irene joined WasteNot in 2015 and since then, has been inspired by the team and its mission. She is excited by WasteNot's multidisciplinary approach of studying existing behaviors toward waste management to inform design interventions. She hopes that WasteNot will continue to educate users and ultimately leave a positive mark on Cornell's campus.
