Out of College:

Plastic bags Collection bin near side door of Sainsbury's

Please try to use as few plastic bags as possible by taking a reusable bag with you when you shop. If you do need to use a bag, make sure it gets recycled.

Ethically AWESOME Plans:

I am currently looking into the following to try to make college more environmentally friendly:

  • Better advertising of recycling facilities.
    I am hoping to increase awareness of the facilities available in college.
  • Recycling facilities in gyp rooms!
  • Fairtrade status fo Christ's

If you have any ideas for ways college could be more green, let me know. Brendan (bjl40)
