How you can help - at work

There are steps we can all take at work or at leisure to reduce our carbon emissions.

The following illustrates some of the steps we can take while working at the University.

1. Staff are asked to turn their lights, computer and other electrical accessories off at the end of the day or when away for long periods, and switch off at the power switch.
2. Use a mug instead of disposable cups for drinks.
3. Recycle.
4. Don’t print documents unless you really have to. Print on both sides where you can. Share essential documents with colleagues rather than printing a copy each.
5. Take stairs rather than the lift where you can.
6. Use videoconferencing or telephone conferencing, where possible, instead of transport.
7. Cut down on air conditioning, where you can.
8. Use public transport or walk rather than taking taxis to travel between campus offices and lecture theatres.
9. Don’t bring in portable heaters. Staff are asked to raise heating problems in their office with the Estates division. When it's cold outside, consider wearing appropriate clothing.
10. If you have any queries, please contact us.
