Living in halls

#SustainableLSE halls campaign in partnership with SOS-UK

For the second year, all LSE managed Halls took part in the #SustainableLSE Halls campaign. The programme aims to reduce energy and water consumption, improve recycling rates, and engage students and staff with the need to do so.

Highlights in 2022-23 included:

• 398 students engaged in the campaign (19.4% of total residents), with 87% claiming they now know more about how everyday actions contribute to the climate crisis and how to drive change.
• 62 Tonnes of CO2 saved this year vs baseline data - that’s around 4,160 average London bus journeys and £40,536 saved in energy costs.
• 9 students were also trained as campaign volunteers, to increase awareness of, and support for the campaign.
• Congratulations to Bankside Hall for winning this year's competition!

Green Impact

Halls are competing to implement sustainable actions and achieve either a Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum award for their work.

• Contact your Hall Manager or the Sustainability Team (sustainability.team@lse.ac.uk) to find out how you can help!

ReLove

ReLove is a reuse program to give a home to unwanted items (books, crockery, clothes etc.) donated by students moving out of halls at the end of the academic year.

• Every year around 8-9 tonnes of unwanted items are donated, most to the British Heart Foundation (duvets are collected by London Re-use). 

• Food items in halls are collected by the LSESU FoodCycle Society.
