Green Week at the MET
Wouldn't it be great if everyone worked together to make the world a little greener?
We’ve invited lots of local organisations to put a spotlight on environmental and conservation issues that affect us all in the MET community and beyond!
If you'd like to do your bit then the MET has plenty of opportunities for you to help out and find out how you can make a difference in the world and your local community. Here’s a snapshot of what’s going on!
West Sussex Waste Partnership
Do you know where your waste goes? Do you know how to reduce your waste? The Waste Prevention Team will have Waste Prevention and Recycling information stands/sculptures made out of recycled materials by one of our Waste Prevention Advisors across Northbrook College. The stands will be up all week but advisors will be on hand on Monday 10th at West Durrington, Tuesday 11th at Broadwater and Thursday 13th at Shoreham Airport.

They’re visiting West Durrington on Tuesday 11th and Broadwater on Thursday 13th. So make sure you pop along and find out how you can get involved with the campaign.
