Tray-less Tuesday

Tray-less Tuesdays Are here again. Augsburg College and the dining service are teaming up again to help in reducing the amount of wasted food in the cafeteria. This will be happening on Tuesday, Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. We ask for your support and understanding in this process of getting our community fit and geared up to be green. We understand the inconvenience that this may cause because we may have to keep getting up to get more food. We ask to think about how much food is saved due to the restraint and concern for the environment of the Augsburg Community. This is a chance to think less about what we can't have and more about what we really may not need. Thank you and we look forward to helping in the change of the Eco-footprint of The Augsburg community.
