It is easy to talk about sustainable development goals , but putting words into action requires careful planning, collaboration, and interdisciplinary support. As Programme Manager for SU’sand the Future17 programme, Corina du Toit says: “I believe that sustainability is not just a goal; it is a responsibility that calls for action and collaboration at every level of our university.
To give agency to the ESP’s themes of energy and emissions, water, waste, biodiversity and land use, travel and mobility, sustainable buildings, goods and services, and engagement, the University actively advocates for the visible uptake of sustainability among staff and students by empowering them to do so.
These include tree-planting events, an eco-treasure hunt, photographic competition, e-waste recycling drives and tours to the Material Recycling Facility and Neelsie Student Centre’s waste room to find out more about waste sorting processes for recycling on campus.
