Sustainability

A vegan diet is healthy for your body and the environment. Not only does it reduce your carbon footprint, but plants require less land, energy, and water to produce the same amount of protein as animals. Try adding some vegan meals into your diet today!

Here are a few of the things we’re doing on campus to manage our environmental performance:

• WKU Restaurant Group is proud to have three Certified Green Restaurants(r) across campus. Fresh Food Company and Hilltopper Hub are both 3 Star Certified under the Green Restaurant Group Association's rigorous standards and Chick-fil-A is a 1 Start Certified Green Restaurant(r).
• We purchase local, seasonal, and responsibly raised, grown and sourced products whenever possible. We firmly believe responsible sourcing has a direct impact on people, animals, and the environment. We engage suppliers and partners to source environmentally and socially responsible products. We also host and participate in many events in Bowling Green, including Earth Day Festival, Market on the Avenue, and the Farmers Market!
• WKU Restaurant Group partners with campus to recycle cardboard and used cooking oil from all restaurants across campus. We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint. Look for signs in our locations for information on where to put your recyclables.
• WKU Restaurant Group composts pre-consumer food in all locations and post-consumer food waste in Fresh Food Company and Hilltopper Hub.
