Greener College Initiative

Thank you for taking the time to have a look through this information about how we can work together to reduce the environmental impact of New College. Whilst the global challenge of tackling climate change is one of the greatest problems humanity has faced, acting together to change and adapt an organisation like New College is both an achievable but high impact challenge that can be rewarding for all of us involved.

Whilst individual actions are important, the real key to stopping climate change lies in building our capacity to make collective decisions about high impact areas.
