Sustainability Statement: “It is your future"

The University of St. Thomas Dining Services Department is working towards a sustainable environment.
We are currently reviewing our purchasing practices, equipment purchases, preparation and recycling methods.  For many years we have recycled food waste, paper, cardboard, glass bottles and plastic.  We use recycled napkins and are expanding our Fair Trade arrangements with our vendors.  If you have comments or suggestions please feel free to stop by our office located at MHC 257.

The all-you-care-to-eat style in our resident dining areas tends to encourage students to take more than they can eat, increasing food waste. Becoming more aware of waste can reduce the amount of food prepared and lower preparation costs.
