EPA Food Recovery / Waste Reduction Challenge

The EPA Food Recovery Challenge has 3 main goals for participants:

1. Save money
2. Help Communities
3. Protect the Environment

The Game Day Challenge

The Game Day Recycling Challenge is a friendly competition for colleges and universities to promote waste reduction at their football games. During the challenge, colleges and universities implement waste reduction programs during home football games. Schools track and report waste reductions and disposal data that is used to rank the the schools.

The competition is run by a partnership of the College and University Recycling Coalition (CURC), RecycleMania, Keep America Beautiful (KAB) and EPA's WasteWise program.

Sodium Reduction in Communities Program

EWU Dining Services has partnered with Spokane Regional Health District to increase the availability of lower sodium foods on campus. Since the high sodium intake in the American diet primarily comes from processed and restaurant foods, EWU Dining Services is taking steps to improve the health of the EWU community.
