Sustainability

Here at Bangor University Students’ Union, we think the Environment is important, and we think you should too.

We’re so lucky, what other University can boast being right next to majestic mountains, beautiful beaches, riveting rivers and the scenic Straits? All of this is worth preserving for future generations of Bangor students.

Green Impact Gold Award Sound Bronze Award The SU does a lot of work campaigning on environmental issues, from fighting for Fairtrade in the University, to pushing for paper usage to be cut, to trying to solve the issue of sweatshops! We have received national recognition for this at the NUS Green Impact Awards. This year we won the Co-operative sponsored award for the ‘Most Improved’ Students’ Union – rising from Bronze Standard last year up to Gold Standard – and also won the Ecologist Magazine sponsored ‘Communication Challenge’ for a photo campaign promoting re-cycling.

If you have any ideas about what we should be fighting for or if you’re unhappy with some environmental aspect of the University or the Students’ Union, then email the VP Societies & Community.

Maybe you’re sick of seeing lights left on during the day or in empty rooms, well we are too, and that’s why we’re behind NUS’ Snap It Off Campaign – so if you do see any energy crimes around Bangor, grab a picture and upload it – and it will be sorted! Fantastic!

Cynaladwyedd

Yma yn Undeb Myfyrwyr Bangor, rydym yn credu bod yr amgylchedd yn bwysig ac yn meddwl y dylech chithau hefyd.

Rydym mor lwcus yma, pa brifysgol arall all frolio ei bod wedi’i lleoli drws nesaf i fynyddoedd mawreddog, traethau hardd, afonydd byrlymus a phrydferthwch y Fenai? Mae hyn oll werth ei gadw ar gyfer cenedlaethau myfyrwyr Bangor y dyfodol.

Mae UM yn gwneud llawer o waith yn ymgyrchu dros faterion amgylcheddol, o frwydro dros Fasnach Deg yn y Brifysgol at ddwyn pwysau i’r defnydd o bapur gael ei dorri, at geisio datrys problem enbyd ffatrïoedd chwys y trydydd byd! Fe wnaethon ni hyd yn oed ennill Gwobr Efydd yng Ngwobrau Amgylcheddol UCM llynedd am ein hymdrechion, ac rydym yn gobeithio dringo’r ysgol ac ennill Arian ac Aur hefyd.

Os oes gennych unrhyw syniadau ynghylch beth y dylem fod yn brwydro drosto neu os ydych yn anhapus am ryw agwedd amgylcheddol o’r Brifysgol neu Undeb y Myfyrwyr, yna anfonwch e-bost at yr IL Cymdeithasau a’r Cymuned.

Efallai eich bod wedi syrffedu gweld goleuadau’n cael eu gadael ymlaen yn ystod y dydd neu mewn ystafelloedd gwag – wel, mi ydan ninnau hefyd, a dyna pam rydan ni’n cefnogi ymgyrch UCM Trowch o’i Ffwrdd – felly os wnewch chi weld unrhyw droseddau egni o gwmpas Bangor, tynnwch lun a’i lwytho – ac fe wnawn ni weithredu i’w gywiro! Bendigedig!
