Undergraduate students Laura Reed and Callum Hill won a ‘Highly Commended’ in the national Environmental Improvement Award category for their work in creating a wildlife friendly garden at their accommodation site at Salford Student Village.
The University’s Green Impact Awards encourage colleagues to make positive changes to improve the sustainability of their workplaces. These range from replacing bottle-fed water coolers to running Switch-Off campaigns and reducing paper use – small steps towards a greener working environment.
Teams have reported a number of positive outcomes, including getting to know colleagues better, greater understanding of environmental sustainability and empowerment to adopt energy-saving behaviours at home as well as work.
