Green Week in full swing

23 April 2012

Last week's annual Green Week featured a host of events under this year's theme It's Not the End of the World.


Going, going, green: It wasn't just the Green Campus Initiative and Properties and Services that marked Green Week in April. Staff in the Faculty of Science also got their green on.

The week kicked off with a 'vegilicious' bake sale on 16 April, followed by plaza events, talks by prominent speakers, and the launch of Act Now, a residence sustainability campaign, on Friday.

First run in 2008, Green Week is one of a range of efforts by UCT to bring sustainability discourse to the fore among students and staff.
