ÌÇÐÄTV

Wednesday 19 February 
Join the next lunchtime litter pick to help the Energy and Sustainability team to beat their record for collecting litter on campus.

Just add yours to any standard green-lidded recycling bin around campus – where you’d usually put items like plastic bottles or drinks cans – and Biffa, our waste managers, will transport it to a sorting centre.

Spending time in nature keeps us emotionally and physically healthy – and this is backed by a ÌÇÐÄTV study, which found a strong relationship between the amount of green space around a person’s home and their feelings of life satisfaction and self-worth. Find out more – and discover green spaces and activities on campus.

We caught up with Kelly Baker, Grounds and Gardens Manager, to hear about some of the fantastic green projects happening on campus – including ‘living walls’, which help to improve air quality and provide a calming green space for our community.

Do you have your best ideas sat at your desk in front of a screen? If not, maybe it’s time to go for a walk to stimulate your creativity...

The Wild ÌÇÐÄTV exhibition is a celebration of nature through art. Take a sneak peek at some of the beautiful pieces inspired by ÌÇÐÄTV’s wildlife, and meet the staff and students who created them. Visit the exhibition at the FAB by Friday 24 January.

Earlier this year, we explored different ways to heat our campus sustainably. Find out what happens next.

There are lots of simple ways to help reduce our environmental impact on campus over the Christmas break – from the Sustainability team, from switching off plugs in the office to clearing out shared fridges and cupboard space.

January 2025 
This new collaboration - between the Energy & Sustainability team and the School of Creative Arts, Performance and Visual Cultures - aims to promote wildlife and green spaces on campus, and there’s lots to get involved with, including events in the new year.
