Winning for the environment
02:19
Last week I returned from holiday to discover I’d won a fruit diffusing water bottle, a very good start back! I was lucky enough to be chosen as a winner of the London Met Water Month Quiz. I’m still not entirely sure of the correct answer to the question 'How many toilets are there are in the Holloway building?' But it turns out my guess must have been close enough! To say I was excited was an understatement (as you can see in the pic above). I have many fruit / water combinations in mind.
It’s great to see the University making such a positive contribution by drawing attention to and changing attitudes towards green issues. Using a reusable water bottle may sound like a small thing, but it’s these little things that will untimely go on to change our planet. It matters because the average UK households use 480 plastic bottles on average every year, and only 270 of them are recycled, meaning 44% are not!*
Thinking about recycling, the launch of the London Met Travel Cups is another thing the Green Rangers are really excited about at the moment. You can buy in campus from Costa and Starbucks Outlets - Moorgate, Blue Met and Learning Centre for a very reasonable £3.50 each. We love them because they mean we can use less paper coffee cups and make a positive contribution to reducing paper waste. Using them also means we get 30p off on all hot drinks, who says going good doesn’t pay!
