The University of
Northampton Students’ Union has developed PLANET TOO (P2), a student-led
programme designed to transform thinking and behaviours around sustainable
development and sustainable business ethics at the University of Northampton.
The aim of the
project is to develop sustainability and create a long lasting legacy for all
students at the University of Northampton. Being funded by the NUS Green fund;
students have the opportunity to apply for grants that help to reduce the
impact of their activities, such as hiring a minibus rather than using
individual cars or the developing a student garden to promote edible growing on
campus.
A key asset for the
project is the creation of the Changemaker Society. The Changemaker volunteers are pivotal in
spreading the word of P2 and essential in delivering the different strands of
the project. They have attended workshops and development seminars as well as
photo shoots and other university events. These valued extra-curricular skills
can be beneficial to your CV and desirable by future employers. The society
members are friendly and committed individuals, with an aim is to enthuse
others with the benefits of P2 and sustainability, as well as a lively social
calendar.
Are you passionate
about the environment? Would you like to make a difference? If so, why not get
involved.
