The latest news and events from the University of Bristol Sustainability department - working to reduce our institution's impact on the environment.

The University of Bristol has in excess of 6,000 staff, 25,000 students and occupies just over 300 buildings. Our operations naturally have a significant local, national and global environmental impact. The role of Sustainability is to reduce this impact through implementing environmental improvements. This helps to conserve energy and water, save money, make finite resources last longer and help

reduce pollution and our contribution to climate change. Like this page for the latest news, events and opportunities to get involved with the University of Bristol Sustainability team. You can also find out more about the steps we are taking to reduce the impact of our labs and research spaces at https://www.facebook.com/Green.Labs.UoB/.

Look out for the red drop off points around campus to donate good condition items you don't have time to or want to sell.

Use black bins only for items that cannot be reused, repaired or recycled.
