With more than 23,000 students and 1,500 staff across two campuses the University of East London naturally has a significant environmental impact. What we buy and consume, the energy we use, what we do with our waste and how we interact with each other all contribute to this.
We want you to get involved in helping to reduce UEL’s environmental impact by ‘Doing the Green Thing’. This could be anything from using less energy to recycling more or taking part in our projects and events. The following pages bring together lots of ideas, advice and resources on different environmental issues.
If there’s anything you think is missing or would like to find out more about, just get in touch!
It's that time of year again, when everyone makes New Year Resolutions. Often, such resolutions get broken before Semester B even begins, but here at 'Do the Green Thing' we have resources to help you if your resolutions happen to be of the 'green' kind.
