Minimize Your Footprint

Sustainability at Global Jam

What You Can Do:

Here are just a few ideas for things you can do to partner with Dining Services:

  • Look for, and take advantage of, the increasing fair trade, organic, and vegetarian/vegan options available both in the dining centers at CU and in restaurants/cafes around the community.
  • Bring your own travel mug bottles and bag to the dining centers,/ and a water bottle and bag to the grab-n-go’s around campus and anywhere else you go. Throw a grocery bag in your backpack and clip a mug or water bottle to your backpack and you’re prepared for even an unintended coffee, snack, or shopping stop.
  • Make sure to recycle your cardboard, paper, aluminum, glass, and plastic into the appropriate receptacles. If there is a particular location that you think should have recycling bins that doesn't, report it to the administrative assistant in your hall.
  • In the dining centers, you can take all you want to eat, but please also eat all that you take.
  • • Get involved in sustainability events and organizations, both on campus and in the local area. This is a great opportunity to meet new and interesting people with similar interests, learn something new, and make an impact while sharing your knowledge with others, and (most importantly) have fun!
