The University will be taking part in Plantlife’s No Mow May initiative for the fourth time this year. Areas across campus will be left unmown during the month of May to give wildflowers a chance to bloom, which in turn provide a feast for pollinators, tackle pollution and lock away atmospheric carbon below ground. Find out more and how you can get involved.

One of the manifesto points of Fashion Revolution week is that “fashion never unnecessarily destroys or discards but mindfully redesigns and recuperates in a circular way. Fashion is repaired, reused, recycled and upcycled. Our wardrobes and landfills do not overflow with clothes that are coveted but not cherished, bought but not kept.” Check out what you can do on campus to reduce your fashion waste.

The Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF) is a global initiative which recognises labs for their sustainability work and practices. Labs across Chemistry, the School of Life Sciences, Warwick Medical School and the Research Technology Platforms have taken part in recent years and we’d like to encourage even more of you to get involved and be recognised for your efforts to reduce your impact, whilst also being involved in world class teaching and research.

We are happy to share that the RAWKUS collection on Sat 18th March was a great success. Due to the dedication of volunteers and student co-ordinators (with support from Sustainability Team, Waste & Recycling Team, and Accommodation Team) the collection happened in record time with 178kg of food collected and donated to Northpoint Church (Coventry). We will be running this collection 1st/2nd July across the whole campus and invite people to join us warwick.ac.uk/RAWKUS.
