Easy Eco For All<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"EasySince 2019, Harriet has single-handedly put together the Easy Eco For All<\/a>\u00a0<\/b><\/span>booklet, which <\/span>offers a fantastic range of accessible and straight-forward guidance on eco-friendly living in and around Manchester.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From recycling tips to sustainable travel advice, the booklet is full of up-to-date information to help you live a greener lifestyle both on and off campus. Whether you\u2019re a student or staff member, have just arrived in Manchester or have called the city home for decades, there\u2019s sure to be something useful to discover.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The booklet is purely a passion project for Harriet, as are all her other ES initiatives. She credits her parents for instilling in her resourcefulness and a good moral compass.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having confessed to being \u2018indoctrinated\u2019 by the Wombles\u2019 environmental message from an early age, Harriet says her motivation for the guide is to \u2018make it as easy as possible for people to adopt eco-friendly behaviours\u2019 in their everyday lives.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Environmental Sustainability (ES) Welcome Week Stall<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Harriet has co-led the School of Health Sciences\u2019 ES Welcome Week stall for the past four years. She has helped to brighten up hundreds of first-year bedrooms and kitchens by giving away free houseplants, herb pots, and second-hand stationery to incoming students.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Harriet was also invited to give a presentation at Manchester Metropolitan University\u2019s ES Symposium earlier this year, where she offered advice to colleagues on running successful Sustainability pop-ups.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trees for Life Stall at UoM Community Festival 2024<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Harriet\u2019s <\/span>\u2018Trees for Life\u2019 project<\/span><\/a> was a hit at the University\u2019s Bicentenary Festival this summer, where she and co-creator Dr Sally Freeman gave away tree seeds and saplings and led fun activities, such as creating origami plant pots. The stall also made an appearance at the FBMH Sustainability Showcase and the MED Biodiversity social afternoon.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Off-Campus Volunteering<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Harriet has been a keen volunteer at the Parrs Wood Environmental Centre for over a decade, helping the Centre to increase public engagement and playing an important role in their wildlife initiatives.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Harriet\u2019s work stands out as an incredible individual contribution to Environmental Sustainability at the University and beyond. Congratulations Harriet!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
