Students

Students have a key role to play in improving the environmental performance of Queen’s. The Students’ Union and the University’s Accommodation and Hospitality Services run a number of initiatives to make students aware of the difference they can make by being more environmentally aware.

What we are doing:

• The Union is accredited with a Bronze Award in the Sound Environmental Impact Awards which exist to encourage, nurture, reward and celebrate environmental best practice in Students’ Unions.
• The Union has an Environmental Committee elected each year as part of the democratic student structure.
• All areas of the Students' Union provide public recycling facilities as well as a battery and mobile phone recycling station.
• The Union runs a number of environmental campaigns to raise awareness among students, including the annual Green Week.
• Recycling facilities are available for students at the Elms Village.
• Other initiatives taking place in the Elms Village include an Energy Switch off competition and Swap Shop evenings.
• Students are also involved in environmental projects through the Science Shop.
