Downing named as greenest College
We are pleased to announce that the Cambridge University Environmental Consulting Society has placed Downing at the top of this year’s league table of green colleges, in joint first place with Jesus College. As the CUECS website explains:
“The Green League Table is a ranking of the Cambridge Colleges, conducted annually and designed to assess their environmental performance… Its principle aims are to promote sustainable practice and environmental concerns within the Colleges and to provide constructive feedback and analysis to Colleges individually and collectively. The Table seeks to do this by producing meaningful statistics and by highlighting best practice, which we hope will feedback into College policy and management. Coupled with a healthy dose of competitive spirit, the objective of the League Table is to lead Colleges into environmentally beneficial change.”
