This month, we are supporting Keep Britain Tidy's January initiative Buy Nothing New MonthLink opens in a new window. On each Tuesday throughout the month, we’ll be sharing tips and tricks on how you can buy nothing new and make the most of what you already have. We will be calling on you to rethink what you want versus what you need, reconsider if you can repair versus replace and think about whether you can rent, borrow or buy second-hand rather than buy new. Look out for these on our social media channels @WarwickUniSustLink opens in a new window.

After the success of the Big Hog Friendly Litter Pick Challenge during October and November when more than 60 volunteers got involved, we have decided to organise monthly litter picks with the Waste and Recycling Team. They will generally take place on the third Wednesday of every month in different locations and booking will be essential. The sessions will help make the campus a safer place for wildlife and support the Hedgehog Friendly Campus initiative. Staff and students who attended previous events found them really rewarding, a great way to meet new people and get some fresh air.
