Green on Cranfield Campus

I don't know if any of these are open to the general public but there is obviously plenty of green activity going on, on the campus. Turbine opponents in Wood End will, I'm sure, be unimpressed by the 'tour of the turbine' listed below. But subject to the impact on local population, renewables are here to stay and Cranfield may well do some critical work on the technology and its development.

greenweek201311-15 November is ‘Green Week’ at Cranfield campus - a chance to find out about the green-related activities being undertaken to help reduce our carbon footprint, and learn about some of the research Cranfield involved in which is having an impact on the environment and the world in which we live.
Each day is dedicated to a particular theme – energy and water, waste recycling and procurement, biodiversity and green champions. 

The week kicked off with ‘green transport day’ for those who have travelled into campus as a car share, by bus or on their bike.
Throughout the week there are exhibitions from environmental organisations and charities, a trip to our recycling centre, a tour of the new wind turbine, bird and bat box making activity, several interactive presentations and workshops as well as film events.
Don’t forget to check out the details of the lunchtime talks, daily exhibitions, tours and social events taking place throughout the week and book your seat so you don’t miss out: see the poster here and visit the university intranet for more details.
