Environmental sustainability

Carbon Literacy Training

Gain the knowledge and confidence to take climate action.

Our Carbon Literacy Training combines online learning (around four hours via Blackboard) with an in-person workshop. After completing both parts and a short assessment, you’ll become Carbon Literate and receive an official certificate.

Upcoming in-person sessions:

• Thursday 13 November, 13:00–16:00
• Wednesday 10 December, 10:00–13:00

Bookings close three days before each session to allow time for the online learning.

ReUse at Salford

The University of Salford is a member of WARP-it (Waste Action Reuse Portal), a redistribution network, which works in a similar way to Ebay or Freecycle but for organisations rather than individuals.

WARP-it makes it easy for departments to give away, loan or claim items unwanted by others within the organisation and beyond. Items which can be reused include furniture and stationery. 

If you are from a local organisation interested in receiving donated items, please get in touch: eps-sustainability@salford.ac.uk.
