Conserve energy and water OR Conserve Energy and Cut Greenhouse gas emissions We have Implementing a training program for all front line staff;  Also, onsite there is regular review / training with staff to help reduce wasteful practices (e.g. closing vestibule doors; reporting leaky faucets; equipment scheduling and maintenance; thawing items previous day to avoid running under warm water etc.; we preferentially purchase Energy Star certified kitchen equipment when available and/or equipment that is designed to reduce energy and water usage. 9. Green cleaning ARAMARK has been a long-term partner with Eco Lab, a supplier of cleaning products.  We are proud to be a supporter and user of their newest program and product line, EcoLogic, which supports environmentally responsible cleaning.  The EcoLogic Product Line provides “green” product alternatives in ware washing, laundry, and housekeeping applications.  The program promotes a healthier and cleaner environment by utilizing products that help prevent toxic pollution and waste, conserve resources and habitats and minimize global warming and ozone depletion.  A number of these products have been awarded Green Seal certification.   For many of the cleaning products we use, we have transitioned to their greener alternatives and we continue to expand this program. 8. Trained culinary staff We are proud to have trained culinary staff preparing meals on campus.  All our staff are trained on an ongoing basis to prepare the best possible meal options for all the students on campus. 7.  Recycling & Composting program   Across our food service locations, we have comprehensive recycling programs that help divert waste including aluminum, plastic, glass, cardboard and cooking oil for new uses.  Please help us divert as much waste from landfill as possible by using the appropriate bins. 6. Biodegradable & recyclable packaging Although we encourage students to dine in using reusable service ware whenever available, when take out is a must, biodegradable packaging is an environmentally preferred alternative.  In support of a greener packaging program, we are introducing biodegradable service ware into our operations.  Made from annually renewable natural resources including sugar cane, wild reed, bamboo and corn, this line of take out ware can be composted, uses less energy and water to produce, and will biodegrade faster than their more persistent counter parts.  Now you can feel great about what you eat and what you eat it on! 5.  Fair Trade Coffee ARAMARK is proud to serve Fair Trade Certified Coffee through our Expressos’ Coffee Concept.  This certification means the coffee you are drinking was purchased from a registered International Fair Trade Coffee farm.  We also offer organic coffees and fair trade organic coffee blends.  Our coffee blends and variety are constantly rotating so come visit us and try our Fair Trade Coffee offerings.     4. Nutritionally analyzed menus As part of our mission to offer a variety of food choices and cycle menus for our food court locations, we also nutritionally analyze our menus.  If you would like to see the nutritional values of our menu items, they can be viewed under the menu section of this website.   3. Quick and easy – save time Eating on campus saves you time.  You don’t have to get in your car and drive home or to an off site location for a meal.  This saves time and not to mention the unnecessary environmental damage.  Also by purchasing your lunch on campus you save additional time in preparing lunches and gives you more time to study! 2. Hang out with your friends What better reason to eat on campus then friends.  Spending time with your fellow classmates and friends is always a great way to eat your meals.  Take time to study, work on group assignments or make new friends.   1. You don’t have to do dishes! You can save time – you don’t have to stand over the sink to do dishes You can save water – you don’t have to use excess water for dishes (we do our dishes in bulk saving water compared to each individual person doing there own dishes.)
