Trash Free Trails

In collaboration with Trash Free Trails, and to celebrate Earth Day 2023, some of our team participated in a Campus Spring Clean last Friday.

Our team of 11 had a fantastic time enjoying the walk around our brilliant campus and removing single use pollution from several places, such as around our Head Office at the Rendall Building, our 6 live projects and the wild spaces that link them altogether.

We achieved all of our intended goals and more, such as:

  • Head Office & 6 Projects cleaned.
  • Campus cleaned.
  • All planters belonging to Sowing the Seeds of Sustainability group cleaned reducing the risk of micro plastics entering our soils and food.
  • All hedgehog homes & highways cleaned for the Hedgehog Friendly Campus group, the clean has made the Campus safer for the wildlife that we share it with.
  • A trash survey was completed, highlighting hot spots and causes of littering, this information will be fed back to the UoL Sustainability Team to develop strategies to help deliver a Trash Free Campus.
  • All items of single use pollution removed will be entered onto the unique data collection project “the state of our trails” meaning all of our team took part in the only Citizen Science experiment recording trash levels on terrestrial Britain.
  • We left a positive trace around our projects and on Campus.

 

Overall, it was an excellent and invaluable day for our team, the environment and for the overall Campus that we work on. Good work guys!
