Skip the Straw!

UVA Dining is joining the movement to reduce single-use plastics.

 

Whenever you have the choice to grab a straw think twice and sip smarter by purchasing a reusable straw or going without!

 

Did you know in the US we use 500 million straws per day? That's enough to circle the Earth 2.5 times!

Local Finds this Month

 

From the Farm

 

This month Virginia farmers are harvesting green beans, apples, watermelons, peppers, summer squash and stone fruits. Be on the look out. If you spot one of these items post it to your social media and tag @UVADining to show us you love local!

From our Community

 

This month skip the soda and swing by West Range Cafe to try a locally brewed kombucha on tap from Blue Ridge Bucha. Kombucha is a fizzy probiotics drink that is good for your gut and has a little energy boost. Bring back your bottle to get it refilled and help us decrease plastic waste.
