Round off Feel Good Feb with Sustainability Week ๐ŸŒ

Caring for the planet is one of the six ways to wellbeing. So what better time to think about your actions and how you can lead a more sustainable lifestyle while at uni?

Sustainability Week is the forth and final week of Feel Good February. The calendar is packed this week with Halls exclusive and Guild events so if you don't know where to start, here's a taster of what's on. Remember, your actions don't need to be ground-breaking but just know that small efforts to lead a more green lifestyle will go a long way.

The Sustainable Halls programme continues for the rest of the semester. The more Sustainability events and campaigns you get involved in, the more points your Hall will score. First, take a minute to find out who is at the top of the leader board and getting closer to that end of year prize ๐Ÿ’š
