The Green Duck Scheme
Emmanuel College is known for being friendly, high achieving, having ducks and, increasingly, for its green initiatives. Launched by ECSU in 2007, the Green Duck Scheme is a college-wide effort for increased energy efficiency and recycling. Emmanuel College has already spent lots of time and money on finding ways to reduce our environmental impact. We have tackled issues such as energy and waste disposal, making energy saving maintenance a priority and improving recycling facilities. For example:
- All College rooms are fitted with energy saving light bulbs.
- All College rooms are provided with a plastic recycling bag, to make it easier to take recycling to the recycling bins.
- All students are entitled to an Emma Green Duck cotton shopping bag to reduce the use of plastic bags.
- Movement sensors are used in corridors and showers to reduce energy wastage.
- Duplex printing (on recycled paper) in computer rooms is saving paper.
- New North Court accommodation has been built with energy efficiency in mind.
- Although most buildings in Emmanuel are listed, refurbishment programs all take energy efficiency into consideration.
- If you notice any faults, such as leaking taps, radiators that can’t be turned off, write it in the maintenance book in the Porters Lodge.
Information and facilities have been provided to help you to reduce consumption and recycle waste. For the Green Duck scheme to succeed, College needs student support to make Emma greener. We hope that this leaflet will help you to make some small changes that, if we all do them, can really make a big difference.
