Rise x Man Met Environment Team

Did you know that Manchester Met is the UK’s number one sustainable university? Our planet’s conservation is at the heart of what we do, and we have built up world-leading expertise across the University and in our central Environment Team.

At Rise, we want to bring sustainable practices closer to students, but also reward them for their extra effort! In collaboration with our experts at the Environment Team, we are continuously updating new opportunities for students to explore new facets of sustainability.

We’ve lots of live opportunities at the moment. For our DIY lovers, you may be interested in our GROW YOUR OWN/WITH US events and workshops, where you will learn how to create your own alternative sustainable products or even enhance green spaces on campus. Check them out here:

• GROW YOUR OWN: Lip Balm and Deodorant
• GROW YOUR OWN: Herbal Teas
• GROW WITH US: Orchard Workshop
• GROW WITH US: Woodland Workshop  

If you are more skilled in the culinary arts, you might want to check out our Sustainable Supper Socials. You’ll cook along other students, learning how to eat healthier and with less waste, or if you are feeling more daring, you can even try our cooking competition!

• Sustainable Supper Social: Hungry for more
• Sustainable Supper Social: WFD Cookalong Competition  

Have fun, learn, and engage with your community, all while earning Rise Points that can count towards your degree profile.
