Sustainability

At the Students Union Sustainability underpins every aspect of our work. From working with student groups, to developing our own Climate Action Plan, and organising a whole month dedicated to promoting sustainability.

There are loads of opportunities for you to get involved in sustainability during your time at Bristol and make positive change within your university and the local area. If you have any ideas for sustainability projects or events, or other general enquiries contact us at bristolsu-sustainability@bristol.ac.uk.

How to get involved

Climate Action Plans

Climate Action Plans (CAPs) outline the steps organisations and institutions are taking to reduce their carbon emissions.

Student Groups

Join a sustainability student group to meet like-minded students and take collective action that is relevant to you. Get designing solutions to climate challenges with Engineers without Borders.

We’re working with all student groups to reduce their environmental impact. Check out our articles below to get some inspiration from Epigram to UBAFC who are all taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint.

Sustainable Living

There are lots of small changes you can make to incorporate sustainability into your everyday and make manageable and impactful steps towards tackling climate change.

  • Be the Change and take on 6 different lifestyle challenges proven to reduce your impact on the planet.
  • Moving Out - reduce, reuse, recycle and donate items you no longer need when moving properties.
  • Use Symphonia's Meatless Mondays Cookbook as inspiration to reduce your consumption of meat and dairy. 
  • Download SUST's free browser extension to make buying sustainable clothing easier and to help you find pre-loved alternatives to your favourite items.
Volunteering

Across Bristol we work with a diverse range of community partners offering volunteering opportunities. All year round there are opportunities for you to improve local green spaces, support refugees new to the city or support local charities furthering social, economic and environmental sustainability.
