Starting Tuesday, Sept. 30, Bon Appetit will be holding “Trayless Tuesdays,” a day each week when trays won’t be used in an effort to help students avoid wasteful practices and be good stewards of our natural resources.
Research shows that eliminating trays in a dining room reduces the temptation to take more food than actually will be eaten. Other Bon Appetit cafes have reported that food waste decreased by nearly 30 percent at those schools that have eliminated trays with traditional meal plans similar to George Fox’s. This can have a huge impact to our environment because as uneaten food breaks down in landfills, it releases methane gas — a greenhouse gas 23 times more damaging to our environment than carbon dioxide.
In addition, we estimate that the water savings could exceed 5,000 gallons daily which, over the course of the entire school year, could reduce water usage by more than 200,000 gallons.
Please join us in making food choices that help our environment by supporting going trayless every Tuesday.
