餐饮的可持续性
在澳门葡京网赌送彩金，我们努力成为一个可持续发展的大学. For this reason we engage in the following actions to keep our campus eco-friendly:
堆肥
堆肥 has the potential to significantly alter the amount a waste we throw into our local landfills. Blugold Catering is proud to use compostable plates, cups and dinnerware whenever possible.
当地的食物
Blugold Catering tries to source locally grown food whenever possible and financially feasible. 由于威斯康星州和明尼苏达州的生长季节较短, the majority of locally grown food is available in the late summer through early fall. We use Bix Produce from the Twin Cities for a majority of our local produce.
Trayless倡议
After a Trayless Tuesdays program during 2008–09, Blugold 餐厅 went completely trayless in 2009. 不用托盘已经减少了50%以上的食物浪费, 并节省了洗涤所需的自然资源6万多,习惯上每天使用的1000个托盘.
环境意识
目前, 平均, 索迪斯提供的食物中有21-25%是植物性的, 哪种方法可以减少与肉类生产相关的碳排放. Sodexo has committed to providing 33% plant based diets by 2024 and 42% plant based options by 2025 in all college campuses in North America.
另外, 我们新的艺康Apex洗碗系统, 结合技术和产品，旨在节约水和能源, 尽量减少废物对环境的影响, 并且有一个内置的测量结果的方法.
