Green League 2011
Posted by abutcher on 7th June 2011
We’re super excited to finally be able to announce that we’ve been working on an iPhone app over the last month or so, in collaboration with our favourite environment organisation, People & Planet. People and Planet is the largest student network in Britain campaigning to end world poverty, defend human rights and protect the environment. The award-winning People & Planet Green League is the only ranking of UK universities by environmental and ethical performance. This year 142 unis took part, and the results were released in today’s Guardian newspaper. We think it’s a great project, providing prospective and current uni students with a tool to demand and justify change in their unis. Download it now and give it a whirl.
The app, whipped up by our in house iPhone wizz Tak, provides university search and comparison features. For those students applying through UCAS for the next academic year, this app provides a really neat way to compare uni choices on a sustainability basis, allowing students to checkup on their uni’s ethical & environmental performance in a number of fields, whilst on the move. Hopefully it’ll lead to a few awkward questions on campus tours too - there’s nothing like customer pressure to drive change!
The app is available for download now on the app store.
