Heart of Worcestershire College

Finalist

Small footprint – huge strides

Heart of Worcestershire College has taken positive action from our Race to Zero Road Map through the re-wilding of our campus to delivering sustainable education and awareness. These form part of our three-fold “Es for the Environment” strategy. 1 – Education, (You would expect nothing less of us), Emissions, (Protect the Planet and De-carbonise the College), 3 – Ecology, (Boosting the Campus Eco-systems). We have shown that a small group of like-minded, passionate people, with a simple plan and ambition, can guide and inspire a large group of people to take action that significantly reduces carbon emissions and increases sustainable actions at home and college.

Our approach is not to chastise, but praise. To build an active community, that reduces Co2 emissions, grows our campus, promotes, and most importantly for us, educates and inspires others towards sustainable living. Leading towards our College becoming a renowned educator that incorporates sustainability in education and training.

Annual carbon savings achieved with the initiative:
