Sustainable selection

Both Collins and Read eateries now offer ReusePass containers, which help divert thousands of single-use containers from the landfill and save thousands of gallons of water. Visit reusepass.com online (select IU Dining and enter your information), save the QR code to your Apple wallet or phone, then scan the code to pick up a container from the host. Return the empty container to the marked collection bins at either Collins or Read, regardless of where you picked it up. Learn more online.

At the Worry Free concept at Forest, all items are free from gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, fish, and shellfish. This fall, try a quinoa or rice bowl with your choice of protein, make your own gluten-free sandwich with no fear of cross-contact, or enjoy some vegan, gluten-free pasta from IsiBisi, made with corn and rice flour.
