Campus Kitchen goes “green” at Brian Coyle Center!

plates

This semester, Campus Kitchen has been able to resurrect a practice that’s both earth-saving and cost-saving with the youth at Brian Coyle Center. A year ago, an intern created a reusable plate system to use with the youth, but the system (and plates) got lost in transitions through the summer and fall. Now, thanks to a donation from Seward Community Co-op, thoughtful clean-up skills from the youth, and a little extra elbow grease from our current interns and volunteers, re-usable plates have returned!

The youth are back in the habit of saving plates every day, and Campus Kitchen students have been able to use the dishwasher at Brian Coyle to make clean-up efficient and effective. These cheery green plates are now saving about 100 Styrofoam plates from a landfill each week!
