National Go Green Week
People & Planet’s inaugural National Go Green Week took place during February, and with so many groups taking part it’s surprising there were any face paints left anywhere in the country!
The week was phenomenally successful, with loads of exciting and creative actions including a giant waste sculpture, environmental question times with politicians, school assemblies, campus-wide marches expert speaker events, big green bike rides, green parties, human banners, carbon audits and, of course, plenty of green people.
Congratulations to everyone who took part in the first ever Go Green Week - we’re already looking forward to next year.
