Greenies

If you are dining in the food court, make it sustainable and minimize waste from disposable tableware by using Greenie clamshell container and trays along with reusable plates and metal utensils. These items can be placed in the bus tub to be washed and used again. Disposable containers are available for to-go meals and should be landfilled after use.
