These brightly colored packages are a welcome sight this semester, as they signal the return of the reusable food packaging at Gilman Dining. During the fall semester, in an abundance of caution to reduce the possible infection and spread of COVID-19, takeout meals were served in single-use packaging — a step back in the College’s and Parkhurst Dining’s eco-friendly efforts.
“As part of our commitment to sustainable practices, we are excited to bring back the Green to Go Program,” says Adria Handley, General Manager of Parkhurst Dining. “In the past, Green to Go has been very popular on campus, and being able to incorporate this program back into Gilman Dining Hall was important to both us and our students.”
