SRB’s Green Food Initiative is also launching on Monday, March 23 and is encouraging local trucks on Temple’s campus to make a difference in the environment by making eco-friendly choices. Currently, nine trucks are taking part in the initiative and SRB has created a ranking system with points to demonstrate how many environmental-steps each vendor has taken. All of the vendors taking part in the initiative will display posters with a frequently updated score.
