Bar Harbor’s College of the Atlantic will become the first campus in the country to eliminate disposable plastic food ware in their dining operations, according to the nonprofit Post-Landfill Action Network. A reusable to-go program launching at the college this winter replaces single-use plastic with stainless steel containers, mugs and sporks. According to College of the Atlantic, the effort will keep more than 50,000 pieces of plastic out of the waste stream.
