Footprint campaign

Footprint - first steps to a greener future

Student Living's Footprint campaign is an initiative to reduce carbon emissions in halls. Alan Holloway, Operations Manager at Student Living explained a bit more about the aims of Footprint:

 "Derby halls of residence have set themselves the task of reducing their carbon footprint by 40% by 2020 and our energy consumption by 15% by 2015, and through the Footprint campaign we are encouraging students to help us do this".

Help us build a greener future

The main ways students can help Student Living achieve these targets are:

• recycle as much as possible
• be energy efficient

So if you're keen to help us acheive a greener future check out our recycling tips or join in the fun with the Student Switch Off  and win some great prizes at the same time. Have a look at energy saving tips and details of our green acheivements to date. 

To get the ball rolling, during the third week in October, Residential Assistants in Derby halls will be making flat visits, giving away footprint cotton shopping bags and asking for your eco tips. They'll also be kick starting the Student Switch Off campaign. Keep up to date with other green issues on your footprint noticeboard at halls, and remember to put any green news you may have up for others to share. Alternatively post any green news on the University of Derby Accommodation facebook page.
