Sure, there are 30 days in April, but 17 is the magic number for Sustainability Month at UB, which starts today.
That’s the number of Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, which form the basis of the United Nations’ interconnected strategy to build a better world by 2030. UB has placed greater emphasis on the SDGs in recent years, weaving them into all aspects of the university, from academics to operations.
The SDGs will be firmly in focus as part of Sustainability Month: A different goal will be featured each day in April, with various events that correlate to that SDG. And UB Sustainability’s website has been updated with a curated collection of content including podcasts, volunteer opportunities and further readings on each of the 17 SDGs.
Turning internet searches into trees at Bristol University
By Bristol24/7, Monday Feb 8, 2021
Thanks to a student-led initiative, the University of Bristol has switched to the Berlin-based not-for-profit search engine, which uses advertising revenues to plant trees across the world.
The switch to Ecosia will boost the university’s attempts to become carbon-neutral by 2030 and has already led to the planting of 672 new saplings in countries such as Madagascar, Brazil and Indonesia.
It is estimated the move will result in more than 200,000 trees being planted each year, around the world.
