Live webchat: do students benefit from green universities?

Universities may have good intentions – but in practice, being eco-friendly isn't always high on the agenda. Following on from next week's launch of the People and Planet Green League – which ranks universities to show how well they manage their environmental impact – we will be hosting a live Q&A with sustainability experts and students. Join us from 1-4pm next Tuesday to discuss the ways in which universities can tackle their carbon footprints – and how students can benefit from green policies. Would you consider a university's environmental record before applying for a degree? Perhaps your own university has introduced a successful scheme. Share your opinions and questions in advance by posting in the comments section below. Our panel: Debby Cotton is head of educational development and pedagogic research at Plymouth University .
