The Sustainability Team at King\u2019s works to reduce our carbon footprint, extending our recycling provision and pushing for sustainable education and careers.<\/p>\n
One of our most important roles, and what we enjoy most, is to engage students in the exciting global conversation about sustainability. As well as sharing tips on how to reduce your impact on the planet, we also encourage discussion on pressing sustainability issues. We often come together over tea and nibbles to discuss eclectic subjects ranging from aquaponics to energy security in the EU.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>London is a super city to explore by bike. Cycling is cheaper, will get you from A to B a lot quicker and will also keep you fit.<\/p>\n
\nEating less meat, hitting up your local farmers market and buying organic are all super ways to reduce your environmental impact.<\/p>\n
\nSwitching off appliances that you are not using is a no brainer for the planet and will reduce the College\u2019s bills.<\/p>\n
\nLondon charity shops and your local freecycling<\/a> group are treasure troves of pre-loved stuff.<\/p>\n
