Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Reusable Cutlery Program

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
The Sustainability Office has collaborated with a local small-business owner, Haley Feller, who sewed 1000 cutlery bags to hold the cutlery so it’s easy for students and staff to pack them around campus. The bags are made from unwanted used cotton/poly sheets; they can easily be cleaned in the washing machine. The cutlery has been sourced from local thrift stores or donated around campus; only purely stainless steel cutlery is being accepted for the simplicity of managing the program.
