Environmental and Human rights society, running events and campaigning to make the UoB more sustainable and equitable across all areas
What We Do
People & Planet is the largest student network in Britain campaigning for action on world poverty, human rights & the environmental crisis. People & Planet Bath is The University of Bath's branch of the national network. In 2021/22 we organised a climate protest, released a sustainability podcast, promoted plant-based diets within the university, and got Ecosia (a search engine that plants trees) installed on university computers!

At our weekly meetings in 2024/25 we will be holding lots of discussions around social and environmental issues, as well as making progress with our new and continuing projects that are helping to make a difference at the university. We’ll be providing more details about these on our whatsapp groupchat so make sure to join here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/Be8gQzoxlC12mxYNknfazK
