Help us make the earth greener and return your reusable to-go containers for future #Hokies to use! 🌎 You can drop them off at any dining center dish return or any of the return stations around campus. 🌱 #sustainable #VTdining

Love the tap! Use a reusable water bottle to cut down on plastic water bottles! We hear @HokieDining has some cool ones 😉. #vthrl #LoveTheTap #Refill @virginia_tech @VTFacilities

@Spurs_Mayank @HokieDining Thanks for the suggestion! 💚 We will pass it along to Turner Place. Also, here's another place to send feedback: https://t.co/zxgwt0iTMn in case you have other suggestions too.

March Madness!!!
Sports, Going plastic "strawless", using reusable bottle and ordering "for here" all win!

@HokieDining @VTGreenDining

A suggestion - Make Qdoba plastic lids optional. Put the sign up or ask " Do you need the lid" Might save out on a lot of single use plastics

Happy New Year, #VirginiaTech! This year our resolution is to use fewer #singleuse items, and @HokieDining has bottles, sporks, and R2G containers that can help! What’s your #sustainability resolution? @VTsustainable

[Virginia Tech Sustainable Dining @VTGreenDining]

Have a wonderful winter break, #Hokies! We’ll see you again in 2019 👋

It’s almost reading day at #VirginiaTech! That means it’s time to return your Reusable To-Go containers so that they can be reused in 2019! #DontForget

REMINDER: Please return green reusable to-go containers to any dish return or return stations located in Turner Place, Hokie Grill, Owens Food Court and DXpress. These containers should not be thrown away! ♻️

Since 2014, 180,000+ meals have been served in R2G containers, helping reduce waste and cut costs associated with compostable to-go containers. @VTsustainable @VTGreenDining https://t.co/hnWrRHmvpk

[Virginia Tech Sustainable Dining @VTGreenDining]

Waste can be complicated, but it doesn’t have to be! Our strategy includes #compost, #recycling ♻️, food diversion with @campuskitchens , reusables, and tray-less dining. Learn more here: https://t.co/31LvgRWVXB
