GGAA 2012 - Smaller Institutions - Great Southern Institute of Technology - Highly Commended

Seeds of Sustainability

With nearly 6000 people practising recycling, reusing and reducing resources, Great Southern Institute of Technology’s Seeds of Sustainability project is flourishing.
Significant savings from reduced electricity, paper and water use have been directed into further exciting developments to compound sustainability and numerous initiatives have been established.

The passion and commitment are almost tangible. People urge each other to do the right thing, and news is shared through the monthly gazette. Our project stands out for the high number of initiatives brought to fruition, the green mindset adopted by our people, and the unashamed exploitation of our position to spread the message far and wide through the inclusion of sustainability elements in all our courses.
Strong leadership from the Managing Director, who issued a ‘green’ challenge to staff two years ago, and a Seeds of Sustainability committee are driving this vibrant project.
