Who we are?
We are the HUU Environmental and Ethical Committee, the main body at Hull University Union behind all environmental and ethical movements. We educate, encourage, and enlighten both staff and students to become more ethically minded in their practice. Through lobbying institution, we ensure that your university is doing everything it can to imbed E&E in its practice. We are and will remain a body of scrutiny, holding those with the power to count for the environmental and ethical practices they work along.
If you are interested in joining the E&E committee, or have any suggestions for policy and possible changes, contact the chair, Joe Brownridge, at j.w.brownridge@2009.hull.ac.uk and join our facebook group ‘HUU Environmental and ethical committee’
