We make more of an impact when we work together. Consider your values, passions and skills and how you could share your time with a society, political organisation, charity or action group.

Useful links

• We encourage staff and students to get involved with departmental Climate Action Plans. 
• Students can find volunteering roles through Bristol SU.
• Staff can find volunteering roles on Viva Engage and can use 'Days to make a difference' to volunteer.

Recycle

When items and packaging are discarded they usually end up in landfill, releasing co2 into the atmosphere, with most materials taking hundreds of years to break down.

Separating and recycling materials such as glass, plastics, metals, paper and food waste diverts waste from landfill and them to be made into new resources.  

Useful links

• Donate quality items of unwanted clothing, electricals, and furniture to charity through our end of term scheme, Bristol Big Give.
• To dispose of University waste that does't go in the coloured recycling bins around campus, staff should visit our Waste Management Guide.  

Get growing

Plants are connected to everything, from air quality to the weather, and supply other living things with the resources they need to thrive. When we take care of plants, we’re making a difference to the health of our entire ecosystem.

Useful links

• Students can join Bristol University Conservation Group (BUCG) and get hands-on at the allotment.
• Staff can join the 'Gardens, Allotments, Foraging and Seed Swaps' group on Viva Engage.

Start conversations

We each have a platform, whether that’s social media or our circle of influence with peers and co-workers. Raise awareness of the changes you want to see in the world by sharing ideas with friends, family, neighbours and strangers.
