Earth Day 2022: Keeping it Clean

Emma Hartup, Head of Curriculum for Business Services, said, “Oliver’s talk was really inspirational for our Business Services students. A lot of the industries these students will be working in - travel, hairdressing, catering - will have eco-friendly practices in place. These students are the next generation workforce, so we are encouraging them to think about their own practice at College. How much do we throw away? What can we do to make ourselves more eco-friendly? Volunteering with businesses like Plastic Free Eastbourne iis another way to help and enables students to complete their work experience. We are grateful for Oliver taking the time to visit us today.”
