EC Students' Association's Go Green project is all about supporting you to make small, sustainable changes in your life - changes which will help you save money and improve your health at the same time. We asked our students what they thought the College's sustainability priorities should be, which led us to the following themes:
Climate Literacy
We run workshops in college classes to raise students' climate literacy, and increase awareness of how sustainability issues link into every area of the curriculum.

Go Green 2018-2020 project
Go Green 2018-2020 project
Our current Go Green project is actually our second. From July 2018 to March 2020, ECSA ran another Go Green project, also funded by the Scottish Government's Climate Challenge Fund.
This project focused on sustainable travel; our current project continues some strands of that work, as well as introducing new work on waste reduction.
You can read the report below to find out more about what we got up to in the previous project.
