Environment Subcommittee

About the Environment Subcommittee: what we do.

The Environment subcommittee works to encourage students to live more sustainably and get involved in the environmental projects around the campus.

For example...

The Interhall Energy Competition in which students’ halls compete with each other by reducing water, gas and electricity consumption. The upshot of this being that energy is used more efficiently, requiring fewer natural resources, and therefore helping the University to cut its energy bill! Ultimately, the money saved circulates back to the hall committees giving a great incentive for active participation.

Additionally,

We encourage students to recycle and reduce waste; buy locally, choose seasonal and Fairtrade products as well as reduce weekly meat consumption or even get involved in one of the community gardens around town and grow your own healthy organic food!

We're always up to something.

It sounds like a lot but there's always something on to get involved with. The highlight of the committee is the annual Green Week, which will be held in Week 4 in Semester 1. If you'd like to volunteer or are interested in joining the committee next year, please get in touch.
