Our recycling program has saved over 37 tonnes from being thrown into general waste since 2013. This has saved over 600 tonnes of CO2 emissions!
Ran an Interhall Energy competition, which saved over 25 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions and generated £1,000 in accommodation community funding and £4,822 of funding to be reinvested in to LED lighting.
