I don't like the decision either, but they are really just trying to make the decision more acceptable by saying "eco friendly" because, in the long run, while it does make a difference in the waste that is put in landfills, it won't make people change their lifestyles.

I am a big fan of reducing my personal waste, so I had the bright idea to bring a tupperware container (freshly cleaned) to the dining hall. I was not allowed to enter the dining hall with the tupperware. A Scripps student who tried to bring in tupperware was told it was "against dining hall policy" to allow students to put food directly into tupperware because it had the possibility of transferring germs from the container to the serving utensil. While I think it is RIDICULOUS not to allow students to bring in their own containers, I understand the need for caution in order to avoid germ distribution. Tupperware is NOT an option.
