At ECSA, we want to help the planet

Green Beans has been set up by your VP Activities, Mary, to help make sustainability more accessible to the Edinburgh College student community! 

We will be hosting a range of exciting events over the course of this academic year starting with pop-up clothes mending workshops ran by SHRUB Coop on campuses throughout our Welcome Season 2025!

Some of the events we have planned...

  • Clothes swaps
  • Mending workshops
  • Tech repair workshops
  • Environmental film screenings
  • Beach clean ups
  • Bike gear giveaways
  • Dr Bike sessions

We will also be producing blogs and social media posts to help educate our students on sustainability as well as working with other areas of the college to tackle the climate crisis and genuinely make a difference. There are 26,000 of us at Edinburgh College - we will have a huge impact if we work together!
