Transition Heriot-Watt

29/03/2018

The Transition Heriot-Watt team is sad to announce that we have now left Heriot-Watt University at the end of our funding. We have had an amazing time on campus, working with wonderful students and staff, and will miss inspiring sustainability here.

If you have any questions please contact [email protected], which will be checked regularly. This page will remain active under the Estates team :)

Stay tuned to the Heriot-Watt Sustainability Society, Heriot-Watt University Student Union, Chaplaincy, Heriot Watt, the Estates team and others for future sustainability projects!

We wish the entire university community all the best and we hope to see you in the future. Stay green!

Rachael, Rizki, Tony and Lorraine.

Great to see the amazing The Edinburgh Remakery in the spotlight!

We've been lucky to have Sotiris (pictured) help so many staff and students on our campus over the years :)

Our last Repair day is tomorrow (fully booked!) but you can find out more about their repair evenings here: https://www.edinburghremakery.org.uk/fix/repair-surgery/

When fixing items is actively discouraged by manufacturers, recycling becomes a political act, say Repair Cafe volunteers
