Food Waste REDUCTION Contest – College and Universities
Love Food but Hate Waste?
Here at LeanPath, we talk about Food Waste Reduction on a regular basis. Reducing food waste through tracking, goal setting and monitoring. We give hints and tips about best practices from the many hospitals, colleges and corporate clients we deal with on a regular basis. We love to hear when other groups are practicing food waste reduction on their own.
Check out this article about ARAMARK Higher Education and their contest with the University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA) and Southern Methodist University (SMU). http://ow.ly/1qv4z
ARAMARK Higher Ed is hosting the semester long “Weigh the Waste” contest between the two universities. The goal is to have the least amount of food waste per student over the semester. They are looking to reduce POST-consumer waste, which is a problem in colleges and universities.
It’s great that a contest like this is happening. Kudos to the people responsible: Green Society presidents, student sustainability managers, the on-site food service managers and the contract food service companies, especially all the students involved. A little bit of work, by many people, equals HUGE impact.
