Today is cycle to work day! We've been improving our facilities this year to make cycling a better option. We've also loaned e-bikes to staff who want to see if it works for their commute. Pedal power to the people!✊🚲

Thank you to all our colleagues who have helped improve the biodiversity of our grounds🙏🌾🌿

Did you know that the transportation sector is responsible for 24% of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions? By switching a few car trips each week to cycling or walking, you can substantially reduce your carbon footprint. Together, we can create a greener planet!

Cycling not only keeps you fit and active, but it's also a green choice with a positive impact on our planet. By choosing to cycle, you reduce air pollution, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and help combat climate change. So go greener and give cycling a go!

Recycling is a simple yet effective way to ensure you are doing your bit for the environment at home. By recycling, you help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill and preserve our natural resources as materials to make new items are used from recycled products.

Don't forget - we have two bike maintainence stands installed at RD&E (Wonford) and NDDH. Equipped with essential tools such as spanners and pumps, they're a handy one-stop shop for on-site bike maintenance and repairs. More information about locations is on our website.

According to the UN, 50 million tonnes of e-waste - items with plugs, cables or batteries - is produced each year, with 80% of this ending up in landfill. By recycling our e-waste, we can make sure these items avoid landfill. Find out where to recycle: bit.ly/e-waste-recycle1
