Reusable To-go Containers: Wake Forest > Duke

In case you are upset that Wake Forest won't be playing on our home court against Duke this year to show who really is the better team; here's a reason why Wake Forest is better than Duke: Reusable to-go containers.

Wake Forest launched its reusable to-go container program last week in order to reduce our waste produced by takeout styrofoam containers from the Pit and Mag room. In one day, over 700 students signed up for the program. They received either a reusable container to use immediately or a tag to trade in for a container at a later time. Furthermore, students can return their dirty containers at four locations across campus for a tag. Most importantly, this program is completely free to students and will soon include frequent user cards redeemable for discounts.

Duke also recently launched a reusable to-go container program. The first 200 containers they pass out will be free of charge, but after that $5 per container. They hope to have 350 participants in their program. Yeah, half the number of Demon Deacons that signed up for our program in one day.

Just another example that Wake Forest > Duke.
