Sustainability in Food

One of the primary ways we interact with and impact the environment and society is how we eat. UW Oshkosh and Sodexo have committed themselves to increasing the sustainabilityh of dining services.

In a recent request for proposals for a new dining services contract, UW Oshkosh included the principle of sustainability in food, highlighting four dimensions:

locally grown
organic
humane treatment of animals
fair trade

Sodexo committed to those principles in the contract. To read the sustainability portion of that contract, click here.

Bike and Pedestrian Survey

The City of Oshkosh is updating its Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Plan and they are looking for public input from people who live, work, study, or recreate in Oshkosh. They have developed a website that has links to an online survey:

pedestrian_bicycle_plan

Even if you do not currently use a bike or walk to campus, completing the survey will help the city learn why you do not, or how they might improve city infrastructure.

Most of us use city facilities every day: sidewalks along streets carrying automobiles through campus are built by the city, to their current standards. The last public meeting was in August, so student and staff input was not representative of UW Oshkosh pedestrians and bicyclists. So please consider giving the city some feedback from the campus community.
