A brief description of the campaign(s):
ISU Dining conducts an annual awareness campaign to market to customers the ability to bring a clean, reusable tumbler or cup and receive a $0.35 discount on a beverage purchase at all of their retail locations. This yearly promotion includes posting signs advertising the program in the majority of their retail facilities. In addition, ISU Dining sells a variety of reusable beverage containers in many of their stores. This includes a special “ISU Dining” tumbler, which is sold at cost in an effort to promote sustainable practices. In total, 1,781 reusable coffee mugs were sold from the spring of 2007 to the spring of 2010. Finally, the number of disposable cups diverted from the waste stream is made available to students and the public as part of Iowa State’s Sustainability Annual Report.
