FOOD ON CAMPUS
HOW CAN YOU REDUCE
RECYCLE
92% of UI students say eating fresh, local food on campus is important. UI’s food contract has a goal to reduce the overall waste by 90% and to buy 12.5% locally grown, 71% regionally grown
Take what you eat, eat what you take. The food you don’t eat will be someone else’s
Help UI reach its goals by supporting our Food & Farm program
FOOD WASTE
After going trayless, Bob’s Place saved 30,000 gallons of water — a 16% reduction — in the first year.
