"Sussex Waste Society provides a positive and friendly atmosphere for students to think, talk and act about waste.
We want to educate ourselves and others about waste (food, paper, recycling etc) and how to reduce, reuse and recycle. We want to interrogate the environmental and social problems with waste.
We run campaigns to achieve actual change in waste policy within the University, the Union and the wider community. We also organise social events, film screenings, field trips and more."
Some of you may have met Laura at our most recent Good Food for Good Causes event - she was manning the donation table and organising the surplus for groups to collect. Behind the scenes, in the weeks leading up to it, she worked hard with the team to help plan and promote the event.
This April, The Waste Society is putting on an event called Skip - Cook - Share: volunteers will be collecting food from skips and from students who are binning food before the Easter holidays, cooking it up into an amazing meal, and handing it out in Library Square (in the University of Sussex campus). Click on the link above to see/join the facebook event.
If you're a student or staff member at Sussex then we heartily encourage you to get involved!
