Green Tips for Reducing Your Carbon Footprint while at University

Green Tips

• Keep a box under your desk for collecting paper for recycling
• Save paper and re use other side when printing
• Re-use paper as scrap paper
• Re-use/recycle envelopes and packaging
• Turn pc and monitor off at the end of the day or when stepping away for more than 5 minutes

The Students` Union has a scheme in place to collect used printer and toner cartridges for donation to a reuse scheme from both internal sources and actively from students. Recycling printer cartridges helps reduce waste and can raise money for good causes. Charities collect used printer and toner cartridges and sell them back to the manufacturers for reuse.
Students and staff can drop off any used cartridges to the SU staff anytime as well as used batteries.
