Trayless Tuesday Pics!

Today was the first day of Trayless Tuesdays at Seneca Dining Hall! Haven't heard of Trayless Tuesday? Well, during the month of February, we're giving students the option of not using a tray during lunch at Seneca. Anyone who decides to go trayless on these days has the chance to enter a raffle to win an 80GB Zune! That's a $250 value, so it's very exciting. Good luck to everyone who entered the raffle! And thanks for agreeing to go without a tray for these few lunch periods this month.

Why are we doing this trayless thing? Well, we're trying to help save water and detergent, by having fewer trays to wash. And we're hoping to have less food waste. Seneca is still an all you can eat facility, of course - students who go trayless don't lose that benefit of eating there. They can carry as many plates to their table as they can handle, and then go back up for more. But having a tray makes it easier to take more food than you might be able to eat. So we're just hoping to cut down food waste on these days. Just think of how many Zunes we could have purchased to raffle off with the money we'd save if less food got thrown away!

I went over to Seneca a couple of times during lunch today, and got some great pictures of people signing up! Check them out below.

I apologize if I read anyone's name wrong - feel free to comment and correct me if I did, and I'll fix the entry.

Thanks, everyone! And remember - think green! Recycle when you can, don't take a plastic bag if you don't need one, and conserve energy! It's just the right thing to do.
