Dining halls switch to reusable to-go boxes
Ohio State students looking to take food on the go now have a greener option, in all senses of the word. Dining Services eliminated the disposable to-go boxes at all three Traditions dining halls and replaced them with green, reusable plastic containers in an effort to reduce waste this semester. Dave Isaacs, spokesperson for the Office of Student Life, said Ohio State has been planning this shift to sustainability for a few years after testing them on a smaller scale last semester.
