 UDS Challenges Diners to go Tray-less
In honor of Earth Day on Tuesday, April 22, University Dining Services piloted tray-less dining during dinner in the University’s six residential restaurants. UDS promoted tray-less dining to raise awareness on the environmental and wellness impact; going tray-less saves water, energy and reduces over consumption and food waste.
Nearly all 3,400 residential restaurant customers participated in the activity, saving 315 pounds of food waste or an average of 1.5 ounces per person. UDS gathered the data by weighing the amount of food waste at dinner on an average evening in the residential restaurants compared to waste collected at dinner on Earth Day.
UDS composts all leftover food waste in UDS residential restaurants on campus. Eco-friendly waste, such as food scraps, napkins, paper, cardboard materials and biodegradable packaging are collected daily and sent to the University compost site on the St. Paul campus. Since the program began in September 2007, UDS has collected 144 tons of compost.
