HSE Library

🌍 World Environment Day 2026

Libraries can play a part in creating a more sustainable future.

Across HSE Libraries we're:

♻️ Reusing and recycling books
📚 Running book swap initiatives
💧 Encouraging reusable bottles and cups
🌱 Creating greener workspaces
🎓 Building climate awareness through Carbon Literacy training

Every action counts.
