Thank you for helping us continue our mission of Wiping Out Waste at The Anteatery this year!

During our event yesterday, we saw an increase in the amount of food waste per person, going from 1.04 oz to 1.05 oz. Some of the most commonly wasted items were leftover rice, honeydew melon, kimchi, and baked potatoes.

These results highlight the importance of one of our key Wipe Out Waste Tips: You may want to request a half portion if you’re not very hungry or prefer a smaller amount of a particular side item.🍽️
 
Remember, every plate is an opportunity to reduce waste! 💚

You still have time… but not much 👀🔥

Dynamite Sweet & Sour Chicken hits different with that extra Buldak sauce drizzle 🔥🍗. If you haven’t tried this combo yet… what are you doing 🤨? Swing by Panda Express in the West Food Court before the quarter ends (and grab a bottle while you’re at it).

Go put that FlexDine to work before it’s gone 👀.

We appreciate for your amazing support during our final round of Wiping Out Waste at Brandywine this school year! 💚
 
Comparing last winter to this spring quarter, our average food waste per person remained strong and consistent by improving slightly from 0.96 oz to 0.95 oz. That means we’ve once again achieved our goal of staying under 1.0 oz per person at our dining hall events! 🌱
 
Some common leftovers were the variety of rice options, parts of the pork chili verde, zucchini, tomatoes and ice cream cones.
 
Sustainable Dining Tip: Customize your meal to the food items you want. If you are unsure if you will eat the rice or veggies, feel free to leave it out. It’s a simple step that makes a big impact!🌍💚
