During this year’s Green Week the Students’ Union are aiming to raise awareness with both students and staff of the impact that our lifestyles and choices has on the environment. Our current use of the environment is not sustainable. Come and find out how we can all help to protect environmental sustainability by getting involved in our innovative activities happening throughout the week.
Thursday 25th October – Tin can herb garden
Grow your own herb garden in a recycled container. We will provide the soil and the seeds – you just need to bring the container whether it is a tin can, sunflower spread tub or small milk carton! It’s also your chance to find out about Green Impact Excellence and how the Students’ Union is committed to environmental sustainability.

Friday 26th October – Bottle top mosaic
You cannot recycle plastic bottle tops with most councils… bottle caps are made of recyclable plastic so why can’t they be recycled too? Here at the Union we’ve been busy collecting them…we have approx 1,000 bottle tops…come and help us recycle them by creating a beautiful bottle top mosaic!
12am -4pm, outside the Students’ Union, Cambridge Road entrance. Free activity.
