A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome :
In 2011, Princeton's Dining Services department developed and introduced a unique tool that enables the University to display carbon footprint information for many of the food items available at the Frist Campus Center and in dining halls across campus. Relevant food items are identified with low-, medium- or high-carbon emission icons, allowing students and other campus members to compare the carbon impact of their food choices. Currently, Princeton is the only self-operating school that offers such a tool. For more information on the carbon footprint tool, please visit: http://www.princeton.edu/facilities/info/dining/sustain/foot-print.
