You can also take action with World Water Day to find out more and spread the message.
What is the College Sustainability Challenge?
The College Sustainability Challenge provides advice to help you live more sustainably, with regular competitions and free training and online resources. As well as taking personal action to reduce your carbon footprint, you will also be helping your residence win the overall competition, with the most sustainable residence getting a prize at the end of the year!
