The University of Leeds is committed to imrpoving its own environmental performance as well as supporting and enabling local communities to address environmental concerns. The University employs an Environmental Officer and Transport Officer to oversee the broader environmental perfomance of the Institution. This has led to significant improvements and has been recognised through national and local awards. There is a plethora of environmental programmes underway at the University spanning travel and transport, waste management and minimisation as well as Fair tade and carbon management.

Green Streets is a further student-led initiative which aims to minimise the environmental impact of the student changeover period. The focus of the project is re-use and recycling of unwanted items generated by student halls, student houses and local residents. For more information click here
