All three WVU dining halls will be celebrating Earth Day by offering plant-forward, planet-friendly foods on Wednesday, April 20.
The menu, which will be served at lunch (10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) at Hatfields and during dinner (4:30-8 p.m.) at Café Evansdale and Summit Café, will include items such as meatless meatball flatbread, grilled vegetable pizza, crispy “incogmeato” tender sandwich, jack fruit carnitas tacos, and more. View the full menu below.
The Market @ UPlace will also help celebrate Earth Day by giving out free Coca-Cola stainless steel reusable straws (with straw cleaner and storage pouch) with the purchase of two 20-oz Coca-Cola products, while supplies last.
Sustainability is important to WVU Dining Services. Many plant-based foods, which are better for the environment, are offered on a regular basis in the dining halls.
After a trial run last year, WVU Dining fully launched the reusable to-go container program this school year at all three dining halls. With more than 1,000 enrollees in the program using these washable containers rather than single-use plastic containers, WVU Dining has significantly reduced the use of single-use plastics.
Café Evansdale has also been participating in a composting project this semester, depositing items such as fruits and eggshells into a collection bin for composting.
