Has the institution banned or eliminated the on-site sales and distribution of at least one type of single-use disposable plastic?:
A brief description of the single-use disposable plastics that have been banned or eliminated:
Sparty’s Plastic Bag Ban
Retail locations around campus do not offer plastic bags to cut down on plastic use and encourage guests to choose a reusable bag. Additionally, straw-less lids are utilized in retail areas like MSU Concessions to cut down on straw use. The State Room Restaurant uses paper straws and sustainable wooden stir sticks as well.
