Dining Halls Evaluate Use of Trays

Dylan Hughes ’08, the student supervisor of Appel Commons, has noticed there is a problem with the amount of food being wasted at Cornell.

The problem of waste, according to Hughes, is rooted in the use of trays.

“It’s helped by the tray, because it’s all you can eat and you have all of this room. People eat a bite of this, a bite of that,” Hughes said. “I think people would definitely take less food if they didn’t have the trays.”

Colleges and universities across the country are participating in a new dining hall phenomenon of removing trays in an attempt to decrease the amount of food waste.
