A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
UCSB's Residential Dining Services is taking strides to protect, preserve, and regenerate our environmental resources by practicing "Earth Friendly" food habits and helping UCSB on its way to becoming a sustainable community. It is our hope that these initiatives will have a positive impact on our local environment and will make a difference in the lives of those who pass through our doors year after year. Our commitments to customers include purchasing from vendors who have a proven track record of environmental responsibility, participating in the Santa Barbara Sustainable Seafood Program as a certified member, and switching to "green," bio-based cleaning products that have a low environmental impact.
