An awareness campaign focused on sustainability in UCT residences, and centred on the themes of electricity, water and waste, is in full swing.

The Student Housing & Residence Life (SH&RL) Sustainability Month (from 3 to 31 August), is being held in partnership with the Department of Student Affairs and the Green Campus Initiative.

Every Wednesday until 29 August, information sessions centred on the themes will be held at various venues around campus.

According to the organisers, they aim to give UCT students and staff practical tips on what they can do to promote sustainability, specifically at residences.
