We’re proud to have a number of sustainability initiatives. By integrating these practices into our daily operations, we’re able to minimize our environmental impact.
A joint initiative with the Office of Sustainability Green to Go cuts down campus waste by giving students, staff and faculty the option of getting their food in a reusable, plastic container – instead of the typical compostable takeout container.
Here’s how it works:
Help keep paper cups out of the trash by bringing your own reusable, travel mug instead of getting your beverage in disposable cup.
When you use your own mug, you’ll also get a $0.10 – $0.25 discount – but the real prize is knowing you’re helping contribute to a more sustainable campus.
Since 2016, MacEwan’s Office of Sustainability and Campus Services have been partnering on Food Conscious Campus, an initiative that aims to bolster food security on campus by repurposing space. Our Tower Gardens, Urban Cultivators and the Urban Beekeeping Project enable us to serve you fresher, more sustainable meals.
