Green Together: A fresh take on climate action with Manchester’s community at its heart
Let’s be honest, conversations on climate change can sometimes feel like information overload. The doom and gloom can be scary, confusing, and not to mention unproductive. Without science-backed facts and a sense of unity, it can all leave us feeling rather lost within the noise, right? Chuck in some ‘greenwashing’ and suddenly it’s impossible to […]

Bringing a Tale of Self-Discovery (and Quantum Science) to School Children
At first glance, using the words ‘school’ and ‘quantum science’ in the same sentence seems rather paradoxical. However, scientists at The University of Manchester believe integrating the fundamentals of larger scientific concepts into the primary and secondary school curriculum is actually completely logical. Izzy Jones’s Quantum World is the bi-product of award-winning primary science teachers Jules Pottle and […]

Green Together: Bringing science and sustainability to Manchester’s Central Library
Spring is a season marked by sustainability awareness, from Food Waste Action and Cultivation Street Week to Global Recycling Day and Earth Hour.

Turning football shirts into bags – to help the environment!
If you’ve got kids who support a football team, chances are they’ve owned a replica shirt at one time or another. In fact, let’s be honest, if you’re a football fan there’s probably an equal chance you’ve owned one yourself. Replica football shirts are big business; shirts account for the largest part of a football […]
