Environment
Introduction
This page holds the latest information about progress on environmental issues in the Faculty and about university policy. It includes results of the latest staff survey of modes of travel to work and two large maps showing locations of staff home residences. The page also contains links to external schemes and organisations offering support for institutions and individuals to reduce their carbon footprints. In particular, there are ideas for reducing travel by car, and links to sources of up-to-date information about bus and rail timetables, engineering works etc. that you can access via your mobile phone. The page will be updated regularly and we welcome any suggestions and input from staff.
