This Idea was approved at the 25th November 2020 meeting with the amendment that plastic straws be available on request (for those with disabilities)
There is a shocking amount of single use plastics in the catering services. We have watched enough documentaries on how plastics and styrofoams are (1) not properly recycled and dumped in other countries (2) animals are dying from it (3) our bodies are invaded by microplastics. Please remove all single use plastics on campus. (1) replace it with biodegrable options - eg, wooden spoons and forks. If it issue is cost, then pray, tell, what is the price tag to life and the earth? (2) remove all plastic water bottles sales from campus and highlight the availbility of water coolers (3) promote the selling of fresh fruit instead of crsips/breakfast bars that come with loads of packaging. (4) more vegetarian options on the menu.
Let's do this so we can walk the talk of promoting the "common good".
