It’s Spring This time Iolo is filming a series about parks and wildlife for BBC

Wales. Iolo and his team at Aden Productions have visited our

beautiful campus. They are looking for people who regularly

spot wildlife on campus or in Singleton Park and have an

interest in learning more about wildlife. If you have any leads or

questions for Iolo and his crew then shoot an email to Emma

Walker at Aden Productions: emma.ford@aden.co.

BBEESEES TAKINGTAKING OFFOFF!! 

It’s exciting to see the little pollinators go about

their busy work these days. With four buzzing hives

and more on-campus beekeepers coming out of

the woods the bee project is really starting to comealive! Please contact the Sustainability Team if you

would like to get involved with the project!

Thanks to the help of many eager staff hands we have

expanded the Polytunnel allotments. Now over 40 staff

can grow their own food, compost food waste and soon

also collect rainwater. The Polytunnel Oasis has

become a wonderful space for fostering staff wellbeing

and for building a little gardening community!

Blackout 

Eq 1.6A UK Hd 

C F(20 T C) 

On March 21st Swansea University

partook in Wales’ rst Blackout event.The HEFWC sponsored event included

six Welsh universities including

Swansea, Cardi, Cardi Met, Bangor,

Aberystwyth and Trinity St. David.

In Swansea over 35 volunteers helped

to switch o ten buildings—the biggest

‘Blackout’ amongst all the universities.

SPECIAL THANKS to everybody who

gave their eort and time to switch o

non-essential lights, computers and

monitors.

The Blackout saved the university

about 1,219 kWh  and 600 kgCO2e 

over that one weekend. Over a year

the university could save approx. 31

tonnes of Carbon, if   the samebuildings were switched of every

weekend. 

These numbers reect meter readings

available for seven of the ten blacked

out buildings. While this covers a third

of non-residential buildings on campus

these buildings only make up 7% of

total energy consumption on campus. 

That means we can SAVE WAY MORE 

if sta and students across campus

remembered to switch appliances o

where ever possible! Individual action

may seem insignicant but when we all

do it -  IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
