The cafeteria has already been doing their environmentally friendly part, for instance offering metal forks, knives, and spoons next to the disposable ones. These eating utensils are then dropped off in a soap-water box during tray and garbage disposal. They also have a Tupperware system, which allows for each Place Vanier or Totem resident to pick up one free Tupperware, get more &#8220;bang for the buck,&#8221; receive a discount, AND get their containers washed for free. However, they do not have any such system for chopsticks, though UBC&#8217;s\u00a0cafeteria offers sushi, not to mention an entire Asian cuisine section.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<figure style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" \" src=\"http:\/\/www.lingslist.com\/ecart\/images\/4%20chopsticks.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Let&#39;s all screw around!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">INITIATIVES:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Add metal chopsticks to the rest of the utensil suite<\/li>\n<li>Add a fee for using disposable chopsticks while also reducing its availability<\/li>\n<li>Offer reusable chopsticks that can be bought with the meal card or with cash (elaborate on next post).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why throw it out when you can screw around?
