Does the institution have a trayless dining program in which trays are removed from or not available in dining halls?:
A brief description of the trayless dining program:
Implemented in 2009 - no trays available in the all-you-can-eat dining halls or retail locations.
Energy...
It is estimated to save 522 KWH of power daily.
Reduction of food waste…
Trayless dining has been shown to reduce the amount of food
wasted because students only take what they can carry, and go back for seconds if they are still hungry.
Reduction of water use...
The elimination of trays in resident dining is estimated to
save 200 gallons per 1000 meals served each day. A savings
of about 1160 gallons of water a day, or 260,420 gallons in
the academic year.
