A brief description of the single-use disposable plastics that have been banned or eliminated:
*Paper straws are available and plastic straws are available upon request (ADA compliant)
*Plastic shopping bags are not used on campus, just paper bags.
*Reusable to-go containers are used for to-go meals in Hurley Hall.
*No styrofoam is used anywhere in dining.
