Into the future

We are working with Facilities Management to expand recycling of glass and plastics.
We are continuing energy conservation programs and staff education.
We are exploring hybrid electric trucks to replace gasoline powered trucks and are working with Facilities Management to explore waste to energy programs utilizing waste oils, food waste, and other Dining Services waste products.
We will continue to explore cost effective carryout alternatives that offer guest convenience and reduced environmental impact.
One of our ongoing initiatives for FY11 is the of our comprehensive sustainability program. A work team will review all Dining Services current sustainability efforts and recommend a strategy for prioritizing future work. We will seek to increase composting, reduce use of carryout packaging, utilize better take-out packaging, and create an ongoing educational campaign.
