Go Green Week is always a great week for sustainability action across students' unions - and this year was no exception. Here's what some of you got up to.

Myerscough Students' Union

Myerscough Students Union launched a new bicycle hire scheme! It’s only £2 per day, £5 for weekends and £40 per term. They're providing affordable transport, promoting healthy lifestyles and cutting carbon.

Canterbury College Students' Union

Students at Canterbury College Students' Union joined thousands around the world to call for divestment from fossil fuels. You can do the same. We've just launched our own Divest-Invest campaign - calling for institutions to move £100 million from coal, oil and gas into renewables.

Students across Lancaster, Leeds, London, Oxford and Sheffield have occupied five branches of Barclays in protest of their unethical investments in fossil fuels.
