University Dining has teamed up with the Union Activities Board, University Sustainability Office, Waste Reduction and Recycling (WRR), and the Energy Management Office to purchase reusable āBring Your Own Cupā tumblers as part of the āOne Less Cupā campaign for the 2012-2013 academic year.
Campus dining patrons will be able to use these tumblersāor their own reusable drink containersā to receive a discount on their drink purchase at dining locations such as restaurants, cafes , and C-Stores.
Last year, WRR reported that 3,877 tons of waste was sent to the landfill from NC State. āThe goal of the campaign is to raise awareness,ā said Analis Fulghum, education and outreach coordinator for WRR. āIf we can get campus community to understand how often single-use cups are thrown away, we can help reduce the number.ā
