Well what a difference three weeks makes! I don\u2019t know about everyone else but I am feeling slightly disheartened with how much the weather has changed, I\u2019m back in a coat and scarf I think it\u2019s that cold! #wheresummer<\/a> (Probably doesn\u2019t help that I have been in Italy for the last two weeks!)<\/p>\n

What you might be finding is that you buy more hot drinks then normal during this time, now if you buy any hot drinks to takeaway on campus the cups are recyclable, as are the stirrers and all sugar sachets. It\u2019s really easy to pop these into the recycling bin rather than the general waste say with your teabag.<\/p>\n

Incredibly Starbucks<\/a> is estimated to sell 4 billion cups of coffee per year, that\u2019s just Starbucks alone! On campus we have a Caf\u00e9 Nero<\/a>, Costa<\/a> machine in Essentials, and not forgetting all of the catering outlet such as Create<\/a>, Dolce Vita<\/a>, Mungo\u2019s<\/a>, J\u2019s<\/a> etc. where you can have takeaway hot drinks. All of these areas have recycling bins in then so please use them! And if you are not sure where these are just ask the staff for help.<\/p>\n

If we are fortunate enough to get a heat wave and suddenly get some lovely weather where you just have to buy ice cream and ice lollies (I\u2019m desperate for this to happen, I haven\u2019t had my first Fab<\/a> of the year yet! And for your information Fab\u2019s are the BEST icelollies ever! #yum<\/a>) even the thin plastic wrapper is recyclable and can go into any of our mixed recycling bins on campus.<\/p>\n

We have been working really hard recently to show how much you really can recycle and so have come up with a recycling wheel that is a more fun and interactive way to see what items can be recycled on campus and where. These have all been created ready for the next academic year and will be put up in all student accommodation and sent around offices on campus. On the back we have a 50% off discount code for any of the sustainability e-learning accredited services for students in partnership with Cloud Sustainability<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I thought I would keep this post short and sweet so \u2018that\u2019s all folks\u2019 (good old looney tunes<\/a> quote there \ud83d\ude42 hopefully students aren\u2019t too young to know what this is!).<\/p>\n

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and if you fancy it tweet us a picture of you #recycling<\/a>\u00a0your takeaway cups to @UniKentRecycle<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
