FIU, designated as a University of Distinction in Environmental Resilience by the Florida Board of Governors, strives to be a leader in sustainability. In response to requests from faculty and staff, beginning today, Monday, August 29, food vendors will remove all plastic straws, cup lids, and bags from the dining counters, and will make them available only upon request.
The Plastics If You Ask initiative is the first step along a strategic pathway toward a plastic-free campus.

We encourage everyone to join the Plastics If You Ask initiative to protect our waterways and our health.
We thank our partners: the Faculty Senate, FIU Business Services, Student Government, and Green Campus Initiative, who together with Chartwells, and Pepsi/Vending are leading FIU toward eliminating unnecessary single-use plastics.
