Name of the campaign:
Reusable Take-Out Containers

A brief description of the campaign:
We introduced reusable take-out containers to our dining facilities in January 2023 and worked hard to get students educated on the new program, as well as signed up to use the containers. We posted flyers all over campus and the dining facilities, tabled outside the dining hall for weeks, did a social media campaign, and published this article https://www.trincoll.edu/news/here-or-to-go-trinity-introduces-reusable-takeout-containers-in-dining/. Both students and employees were involved in spreading the word and tabling.

A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
2840 containers were saved from the landfill in Spring 2023.
