This is a move less motivated by “eco-friendly” than cost management. 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.

Tupperware is NOT an option.

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.

Watch someone make big bucks selling plastic reusable microwavable containers imported from china outside the dining halls.

The boxes from frary can barely fit a f**king burger anyway.

what an inconvenience 50 cents would be. not only would you have to pay, but you’d also have to wait for them slide your card an extra time or w/e. if you have class at noon and want to bring your lunch there you’d be forced to wake up earlier just so you eat in. lame. bring back the styrofoam, fuck the environment.

i agree with drew, make the eco friendly box optional. the meal plan is already a huge rip off, no need to make it worse

What are you talking about? If by “environmentalist” you mean “inhumane dick,” then Dan O’Toole is an environmentalist.

I think you got things mixed up here.

Dan O’Toole = writer for Claremont Conservative…

I don’t actually care but I thought I’d point that out before we start calling people “environmentalists.”
