Sustainability Campaigns & Events
This page shows all of the latest campaigns and events that the Students' Union is involved with.
Snap It Off
The NUS' Snap It Off campaign allows students from all over the country to upload photos of universities that are wasting energy by leaving lights switched on unessesarily. Here is your chance to take some real action. All you have to do is upload a picture of a light left on around the university campus when it dosen't need to be on. To upload pictures you can visit the NUS' Snap It Off website or text NUS to 07725202020. For more information see www.snapitoff.nus.org.uk.
Fairtrade
The Students' Union supports the Fairtrade Foundation on a long term basis, especially with a calendar of events throughout Fairtrade Fortnight. Last year's Fairtrade Fortnight saw a number of events including special edition's of the famous Sunday Night Banter, a Fairtrade Debate deciding whether students' should buy Fairtrade food or shop locally, a Fairtrade wine tasting event and a Fairtrade Market Stall Event in partnership with the University catering company Chartwells/Baxter Storey. Fairtrade Fortnight 2011, which takes place betwen the 23rd February and the 13th March 2011. During these two weeks, we will be running another fantastic series of events, including another Fairtrade debate, another series of Fairtrade quizzes and hopefully a Fashion Show. All of these events contribute towards the University and the Students' Union being awarded a Fairtrade University Status.
