Join the movement by adding your name. We need signatures to start the process of depleting food waste on campus at the University of Connecticut. The first step for this process is to collect signatures to try to get more dining halls to be a serving style, like McMahon. Serving style dining halls prevent students from wasting food like buffet style dining halls do.

Seeing this level of support reminds me why I started this whole effort in the first place. It is deeply moving to see so many of you feeling the same frustration I did when I watched piles of perfectly fine food head straight to the trash in our dining halls. We have real momentum now and I intend to make sure the university administration hears us loud and clear.

This is ridiculous. Why are we paying so much for meal plans just to let food sit out all day and get thrown away??
If you would like to join this movement please let us know!!! The more the merrier. I can give you more information at [email protected]
Yes!! Finally someone is saying something about this. So tired of seeing fully edible food in the trash bins.
Buffets are such a massive drain honestly. I see half full plates getting dumped every single day at South. Need a change ASAP.
Totally agree with this. McMahon is way better for keeping waste down. Good luck guys.
This should occur at ALL universities! Keep it up.
DO IT!

As both a dining hall and University catering employee, I had to throw out a tremendous amount of food on the job. Our facilities are shamelessly wasteful, especially considering the need in the community around us, and the drain that this unconsumed food causes needlessly on our natural resources. Something needs to be done.
