People & Planet at Metropolitan University was initiated following AfSL's 'Do It In The Dark' energy and waste project, which was run in halls of residence in partnership with Emerge Recycling. MMU P&P was given start-up facilitation and support from AfSL and the two have now worked together on a number of projects and awareness raising events, most notably the Small Steps Calendars and Sound Impact eco-clubnight. There are People & Planet groups at over 55 UK universities and colleges. They are run by students and are the core of the People & Planet network. They campaign and raise awareness about the global issues that matter to them by having speakers, debates, quizzes, colourful demonstrations, boycotts, club nights and more. MMU P&P is one of the best! |
