Sustainability

Low carbon Coolfood Meals are healthy, delicious choices that have a lower impact on the planet. Coolfood meals have at least 38% lower carbon emissions than the average meal. Switching from a hamburger to a Coolfood Meal once week, for a year, would save greenhouse gas emissions that are equivalent to four flights from NYC to London. Look for the Coolfood badge on the menu to reduce your impact today!

Here are a few of the things we’re doing on campus to manage our environmental performance:

• We serve Low Carbon meals at the Greenery every Monday and several other times per week. Low Carbon meals have at least 38% lower carbon emissions than the average meal. Learn more about this calculation at eatcoolfood.org
• We offer Make The Swap recyclable to-go meal containers at the dining hall. Join the program once and use it for as long as you are at Evergreen.
