Our food choices affect energy, water, waste, transportation, greenhouse-gas emissions, personal health and animal welfare. Being more mindful of the environmental impact of our food can help each of us shrink our footprint on our fragile planet. What we eat has a bigger impact on the planet’s landscapes, water resources and climate than anything else we do. Food waste and the use of disposable dining ware also impact our environment.
Join Green Genes, Health and Wellness and Bon Appétit by making a pledge to Green Mondays by reducing the amount of animal products consumed, food wasted, and to-go (compostable) dining ware used in our cafeterias. Check out our Green Monday specials!
