The University’s Sustainability Week, April 22~26, 2024, is back! Throughout the week, a fantastic variety of eco-friendly events are planned, ranging from net zero carbon and biodiversity to reuse and climate anxiety.
Events throughout the week
- SURREY: Green Impact auditor: SOS-UK will provide comprehensive training to Green Impact auditors in an IEMA-approved training session. After the course, you’ll have some time to study the university staff members’ Green Impact work and formulate questions. Then, you’ll have a staff meeting to discuss your audit and make any last decisions before sending off the results. It’s a fantastic chance to see how sustainability is implemented in business in the real world and develop new analytical, communication, and teamwork skills. You can sign up here.
- Hillside vs. Lakeside Soup Off: Watch the Head Chefs from Lakeside and Hillside compete! Free samples of soup and smoothies will be available! 24th April, 12-2pm, Austin Pearce Piazza.
- Student Garden sustainability special: Help seed the University’s student garden to help increase our campus biodiversity and ensure the newly installed beehives have a wonderful garden. Sign up here.
- Thursday market takeover and clothes swap: Visit the Thursday Market at Rubix for your regular fix of fresh vegetables and snacks. Why not attend our clothes swap with your unwanted clothing as well?
- Community fridge: Visit the Community Hub to receive complimentary food from our catering services. 25-26th April, 4:30-6:30pm.
