One Community As you’re part of the One community, we hope you’ll do your bit to carry on the positive ethos we strive for at One. We think it’s really important that our students and staff work in a tidy, uncluttered and relaxed atmosphere. Please help us keep it this way by clearing away your litter and respecting your surroundings. This year, many of our students have been keen on ‘going green’ and therefore we’re trying to do our bit for the environment by introducing green initiatives: As you will have heard in the news, plastic coffee cups are a huge problem for the environment. That’s why we’re promoting the use of thermal mugs. If you didn’t get your reusable mug last year then you can purchase one from us for just £3! We have many more green initiatives taking place too, such as: biodegradable salad boxes, edible straws and more on the horizon.
P
