You Can Help

Here's what you can do to promote sustainability on campus:

Choose meals responsibly: waste not, want not.
Stop waste and a growing waistline by portioning your plate. Try filling one-half of your plate with fruits and vegetables, one quarter with a lean source of protein, and fill the remaining quarter with a starch such as brown rice or potatoes. By portioning your plate, you will not only ensure a balanced meal, but you will also cut down on waste. If you want seconds, you can always go back for more.
Eat seasonally.
Limit the number of napkins you use.
Use your Lug a Mug. Not only do you help the environment, you get discount beverages at Tyler's Grill.
Request paper bags for carryout only at Tyler's Grill and other food service locations.
BYOB (Bring your own bag) to Eight Fifteen at Boatwright, ETC and the Dean's Den. ETC will give you a five-cent credit/bag for using your own bags.
Recycle Aluminum cans throughout campus at the designated recycling stations.
Leave permanent ware in our food facilities (dishes, glasses, utensils, etc) so we do not have to replace it
Dine in rather than carry-out whenever possible
Properly dispose of packaging and waste.
Join campuses nationwide and "go trayless" when dining at the Heilman Dining Center. It reduces our global impact on the enviornmnt by:
- Reducing food waste
- Reducing dishwashing and the use of chemicals for washing trays
- Conserving energy
- Conserving water
