Shane Tedder (UK’s Sustainability Coordinator), Joanna Ashford (UK’s Recycling Coordinator) and Esther Moberly (UK’s Waste, Recycling, and Trucking Manager) discuss how they work together towards the idea of ‘cultural sustainability’, and to keep the University balancing its economic responsibilities with environmental and social ones.
