HEAG's Corner: Survey on Trays
October 30, 2009This semester, the Hamilton Environmental Action Group (HEAG) has taken on the mission of making our dining halls more environmentally friendly. In this effort ,HEAG, in conjunction with Bon Appetitte, suggested that trays be removed from the dining halls to minimize food waste and the volume of items that require water for washing.
Before making any changes, we turned to you, the Hamilton community, for feedback through our online survey.
Here are the results:
Do you use a tray in the dining hall?
Yes: 143
No: 632
Would you ask for a tray if trays were only available upon request?
Yes: 107
No: 668
The numbers don't lie - trays are simply not used frequently by Hamilton students. Therefore, starting on Monday, November 2, trays will be located behind the pizza station in Commons, available upon request.
HEAG, the dining hall staff and the Hamilton community all hope that this change will encourage students to waste less and wash less.
If you have any questions, please contact HEAG@hamilton.edu.
