The Green Plum at The University of Texas at Arlington is a retail concept focused on sustainability, balanced meals, and supporting women and minority-owned businesses. The menu items use highly sustainable ingredients that have a minimal environmental and social impact, including using local, when possible, plant-forward menus and sustainable seafood. This restaurant boasts HowGood environmental impact ratings on all its items. The Green Plum also offers pre-packaged items that are all sourced from sustainable, women and minority-owned businesses.

Campus executive chef, Maja Gajic, worked with Sustainability Intern, Jose Perez, to research and determine the most sustainable menu items. Maja and Jose utilized the partnership with the campus Office of Sustainability and took inspiration from current HowGood recipes to support their research efforts.
