Looking after the environment

When you’re living in the local community, it’s important to keep your environment clean. If something is missing, you would like to make a report for a fixture, or would like more information on keeping the community clean, contact Envirocall on the website or call them on 0191 278 7878.

Be environmentally-conscious by considering the ways you can reduce emission and personal costs through travel. Biking, carpooling and taking public transportation are a few ways the university is reaching its environmental goals.
