The mixed team (academic, administrative and technical staff plus students) worked well together to cover the various criteria and also achieved a number of bonus points. The event organisers were very impressed with the way the team actively promoted environmental sustainability in the school, including a ‘Wear a Jumper Day’ at the start of the student Go Green week in February, when the temperature of the building was reduced, posters and information stalls set up and the University travel survey and Go Green events publicised.
