University launches interactive sustainability maps
The University's Sustainability Team have launched two interactive sustainability maps designed to help students, staff and visitors to get involved with sustainability at the University and local area.
Two maps have been created, one specific to the University, the other exploring Guildford and the surrounding areas.
The University Sustainability Map includes:
- Water refills stations
- Beryl Bike bays, bike racks and storage
- Green spaces
- Locations to get involved with volunteering
- Public transport
- Cauli cup stations
- Showers
- Charity donation drop-off points
- EV charging
The Guildford Sustainability Map includes:
- Public transport
- Beryl bikes
- Charity organisations and shops
- Sustainable initiatives within chain businesses
- Independent and sustainable cafes
- Independent businesses
- Green spaces
Feedback from staff and students from across the University has played a significant role in shaping features of the map, as well as the projects and initiatives included.
Developed by Abigail Springett, the University's Sustainability Team's current student placement, the maps align with the team's commitment to inform, encourage and enable our community to take sustainable action - as set out in the Staff and Student Sustainability Engagement Strategy.
The sustainability maps were created through ideas and feedback shared by staff and students at the University. Watching it grow has been incredibly rewarding, and I hope it continues to develop in ways that nudge and inspire our community to take on more sustainable habits.Abigail Springett, Sustainability Assistant
The maps are now accessible on the University's website.
