A Green GSU

At GSU we are committed to minimising our impact on the planet and maintain sustainable practices in everything we do

In October 2019, the GSU Student Assembly voted to ask the University to declare a climate emergency and for the University and Union sustainability strategies to consult with students in the process of creating them.

This call to action aims at encouraging the University to take action and speed up its efforts at becoming carbon neutral (having no carbon footprint often through carbon offsetting). GSU Officer Jabed is the leading Sustainability Officer for 2021/2022.

A message from GSU Officer Jabed

 

“We have limited natural resources which should be consumed responsibly for the continuation of the human race and all living beings. We are the only generation who can act and save the planet for us and for the future generations. Let’s educate ourselves and others on sustainability and raise awareness among people around us”.

Green Gown Awards

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.
