How to reduce your students’ union’s digital carbon footprint 💚

What you need to know:

- Location: Studio 1

- Date: Thursday 12 2025

- Time: 11:40 - 12:20

Please note, all sessions across both days are subject to change. Any changes will be updated across the website and in any other digital comms in advance.

- Presenter(s): Simon Fairbanks, Uni Taster Days

From the presenter:

Our students and staff are passionate about sustainability.

Many of our students' unions are taking steps to reduce paper and printing.

However, our digital content has a carbon footprint too. Websites, emails, and social media are all contributing towards our planet's climate crisis.

And it's only getting worse in this increasingly digital age...

Things you'll take away

- Learn how your students' union's digital content is damaging the environment

- Understand how to decarbonise your digital content by applying the 5 Rs of the waste hierarchy: refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, retire

- Discover a variety of tools and resources to further develop your knowledge about digital sustainability, and lobby for wider change across your campus
