This year due to the COVID-19 pandemic all events will be online, making them accessible to more people than ever before. Previous Green Weeks have focused on Coventry and Leamington Spa, but all areas of Warwickshire and beyond are encouraged to get involved.

Did you know that we can help protect our planet by saving food? Warwick is taking part in the Food Waste Action Week Challenge on Monday 1 March - Sunday 7 March 2021. Find out more about the campaign and how to get involved.

Have you got a story to share that we can publish for Green week? We are looking to showcase Green projects you have been working on either on campus or during lockdown to share with staff, students and the local community. Send us your videos, photographs or research to demonstrate your life as a Green Champion and be featured on the University social channels and articles during Green Week.

As part of the Innovate UK funded EV-elocity project, WMG has installed three eNovates Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) chargers on campus. The V2G units have been installed on campus to support a planned programme of applied research that revolves around analysing real-world data garnered from vehicle usage and battery performance to create new models of battery ageing and degradation bespoke to V2G operation. Three Nissan ENV200 vans from the University’s Estates fleet have been fitted with data loggers and will be utilising the three V2G chargers. Usage data from the vehicles and the V2G chargers will then be stored in a data warehouse managed by Cenex, Crowd Charge and Hangar-19.

Would you like to feature in our next Sustainability video?

We would like to know your thoughts on Sustainability and what this word currently means to you. You can get involved by submitting a video and saying a quick few words, by holding up a sign with a one-worded answer or even submit a few creative photographs to showcase your feelings around sustainability at home, or on campus.
