When students return to campus next semester, they ll be able to try a few varieties of an MCLA Pickle created by MCLA Dining Executive Chef Tony Fiorentino. According to a press release, while the greenhouse will only produce a small amount of food, it s a visible reminder of the commitment MCLA and Aramark, which holds the college dining contract, have made to sustainability on campus. MCLA Dining staff are already composting, weighing scraps to keep track of and reduce food waste, and purchasing Fair Trade coffee, cage-free eggs, and other foods with a lower environmental impact. Aramark/MCLA Dining was one of our strongest partners from the beginning when the Sustainability Committee started, said Environmental Studies Professor Elena Traister, who heads the College s Campus Sustainability Committee.
