Pledges & Other Initiatives

To further reduce our impact, we have introduced several pledges and other initiatives at MSSL.

Our Pledges

Minimal Meat Mondays

Our on-site cafe has pledged to offer only meat-free main options on a Monday, to encourage staff and students to reduce their meat consumption. 


Reducing Junk Mail

Our office team has pledged to reduce paper junk mail by contacting the relevant companies. If you want to help to do this, contact Sarah Smith in the general office. 


Greener Gardening

Our gardener has committed to reduce the impact of gardening on the environment. 

  • Not using plastic labels for planting.
  • Not buying fossil-fuel powered machinery.
  • Using only peat-free compost.

Other Initiatives

Reducing Single-Use Plastic

To reduce plastic waste, we've teamed up with the eco-conscious shop For Earth's Sake to give staff and students the option to order plastic-free groceries directly to MSSL. We also encourage staff to use our pod-free coffee machine to stop the generation of non-recyclable waste from coffee pods,
