How Green Was My University

Not very in the case of the Open University. We dropped from 75th to 101st out of 126 institutions acccording to the Times Higher today. What went wrong?

1. We could gain points if HR added some "responsibility for environmental management" to everybody's job spec.
2. Apparently we consume too much water. I suggest that we wash less and drink more beer.
3. We could score more if we had an "Ethical Investment Policy". I will ask our partners Raytheon (cruise missiles) what they think.
4. Two points are available for a "Fair-trade policy". If we got rid of the Nestle water coolers it might help.
