We are proud to say that back in 2012 we successfully banned the sales of plastic water bottles on campus. You will therefore be wondering why plastic water bottles are on sale at the Grind end of this month….? Each year the Cafeteria carries an emergency stock of water bottles, last year being the incident of the protesting in which case we were preparing ourselves that students may need to stay on campus and even spend the night. Luckily our stock was not needed, which is why they will now be sold, allowing us to order a new stockpile thereby avoiding the long exposure of the water to the plastic. Here’s to going green yet keeping prepared.
Fun Fact: We used to sell approximately 300 bottles a day, x 180 school days = approximately 54,000 bottles in a year, which we now save from being thrown to the trash piles. Enjoy!
