Point Loma Nazarene University claims to be a sustainable campus, yet the inaccurate and outdated information found on their website is misleading to the reality of their efforts. The composting program has just begun making its way back since being shut down during COVID-19, according to Gustavo Bernal, assistant director of campus facilities. Staff workers in the university’s food establishments weren’t aware of the composting process and only a select few actually know where food waste ends up.
The PLNU webpage, “Why Sustainability Matters at PLNU,” states that leftover food from the cafeteria, Bobby B’s and Point Break are donated to the San Diego Rescue Mission through the Food Recovery Network, a nonprofit. However, this hasn’t happened since COVID-19, according to Raquel Alvarez, the Point Break supervisor.
