"We can now actually tell students that it does work," she said, adding that with students having done the research, other students would be more likely to listen and believe in the benefit of Trayless Tuesdays.
"It's coming from students saying that it actually does work, except students have to now exert a larger effort (to get their food)," Sprain said.
Lim said he was surprised to find that Trayless Tuesdays do lead to using fewer dishes, but that the extra effort that has to be made by students still makes it less effective.
"I think in the long run that it doesn't work because people still have to get up and make trips (for food)," he said, adding that he's seen students spill things while doing this.
And as for receiving first place-the two said they were completely surprised.
"It was amazing," Lim said. "I couldn't believe it. There was a lot of great groups out there."
Sprain agreed, saying she was "shocked."
"I felt that there were other groups there we thought did a better job overall with their research," she said. "But our research was up and coming; it was something new that students haven't done before."
