Eco-friendly tips for attending LSE events on campus or watching online

Did you know....

Using a desktop computer with screen has a carbon footprint 25 times that of a 13-inch MacBook.

 

LSE catering outlets offer discounts to those ordering hot drinks that provide their own KeepCup.

 

We hope to see you all at one of our events soon. If you are coming to an event on campus, or watching online, we have several tips which will help reduce your carbon footprint as listed below. 

In the meantime, why not sign up to our electronic newsletter to find out about our events first. We have now moved away from sending out printed copies in a bid to do our bit for the environment. Previously we printed and mailed 6500 copies; we have now reduced this to 500 copies. 

 

Coming to an event at LSE?

  • Travel by public transport, cycle or walk to the venue.
  • Bring a reusable water bottle and fill up using one of our water fountains on campus.
  • If you would like to purchase a hot drink prior to an event, many of LSE's catering outlets have a 25p levy on single use coffee cups, so bring along your own reusable to avoid this charge. Some of the LSE catering outlets sell KeepCups with your first drink free with the initial sale of the cup.  Please note, hot drinks are not allowed in the theatres so please ensure you consume before attending the event.
  • When purchasing a hot drink, we encourage you to opt for non-dairy milks where possible.
  • Don't print out your ticket, show us your e-ticket on your mobile device instead.
  • Recycle any waste using the numerous recycling bins provided all across campus.

Watching one of our online events?

  • Watch using a laptop/MacBook instead of a desktop computer.  Using a desktop computer with screen has a carbon footprint 25 times that of a 13-inch MacBook.
