Welcome to the blog!

Writing in a notebook while sitting on a lawnDo you want to know our latest progress towards our department’s sustainability commitments? Or to find out how the team feel about the global challenges we need to address? Then you’re in the right place.

Welcome to our blog.

We want to challenge, inspire and inform, but most of all we want to be honest. We believe in learning and acting together as we strive to make our department more environmentally sustainable. And we know that we have a lot of work to do.

We invite you to come on the journey with us.

In short posts of ~300 words, our team will share their personal experiences and reflections of the process, the challenges, and the opportunities ahead. Unless otherwise stated, the opinions shared are those of the posts’ individual authors, not departmental statements from Lancaster Environment Centre.
