Green Gown Awards 2020

Eco-Team Greenwich is a collaboration between staff and students at Greenwich

The Green Gown Awards Team had this to say about the Eco Team: 'We really like the process of discussing issues of importance followed by considered action, as well as the balanced collaboration of the EcoTeam. And such a breadth of fantastic activities have been run as a result! It would be great to see this developed for future applications, to include evidence of long-term impact, and how the activities are creating behaviour change.'

You can connect with the Eco-Team on Facebook and Instagram.
