"I attended the IEMA Environmental Sustainability Skills for the Workforce sessions in July. It was two sessions via Teams supported by a workbook which was available in hardcopy or electronic.
The course was very interesting and thought provoking. I am proud that Queen Mary is committed to Environmental Sustainability.
One of the strands of the course was that Environmental Sustainability makes economic sense. This was certainly true when I decided to subscribe to my daily newspaper online. Instant reduction in paper wastage, saving on the cost of buying the paper and the convenience of it being available on my phone.
Within the department we are also looking at recycling batteries. We are also moving towards managed PC to make it easier to pass PCs from previous students to new students".
