A campaign organized by students and supported by U of G\u2019s Hospitality Services aims to encourage the use of reusable coffee mugs on campus through customer incentives and an advertising campaign to reduce single-use cups.<\/p>\n
About 25,000 cups of coffee are sold each day on campus, mostly in disposable cups.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is problematic due to the resources required to manufacture and transport these single-use products, and their significant contribution to landfill waste,\u201d says Alison Tindall, a student co-leader of the campaign.<\/p>\n
Tindall, along with students Tasia Wong, Monique Chan and Marion Davies, partnered with the Feeding 9 Billion program started by Evan Fraser, a U of G geography professor. The program aims to improve environmental sustainability and food security locally and globally.<\/p>\n
The campaign includes:<\/p>\n
Hospitality Services plans to integrate mugs into U of G\u2019s existing \u201ciamreusable\u201d program, which allows patrons to borrow reusable dishes for to-go meals.<\/p>\n
