Encouraging the use of “Less Rice” option in LG1 Canteen

What students did: Although the “Less Rice” option has been available in the LG1 canteen for long, many patrons are not aware of this option, and not everyone who knows about it remembers to use this option. One student team designed some prompts that reminded patrons about the option and placed them strategically in the canteen.

What students found: Over a two-week period, the intervention was found to have no significant impact.
