A brief description of the reusable to-go container program:
Our food services provider introduced the reusable To Go clamshell container in December 2010 for our Taos Cafe and two other restaurants on campus. It is a highly successful program. We cut down the use of compostable (we eliminated styrofoam from the Taos cafe in 2009) clamshells from 1500 a day to zero! The new food service provider, Sodexo, is continuing this practice with a beautiful To Go container with the NMSU logo. Students love it!
