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:
We have not undertaken trayless dining initiatives because we feel it would have little impact on food waste on our campus. None of our dining units have "all you can eat" meal plan options, so students are not at risk of overloading trays and wasting food to try to maximize the use of their plans. All food items are individually priced, which means students will be less likely to over-indulge and more likely to choose economically.
While a tangible water use reduction could be realized through trayless dining, experiments have produced a strong student backlash and resulted in full-time tray availability.
