The Green Blue University Sustainability Challenge seeks to harness the greenest, low impact clubs from across the country. The Challenge is a key part of the environmental programme's outreach to enable a more sustainable recreational boating community.
The competition encourages students to evaluate the impact of their activities and to begin implementing more sustainable alternatives.
Starting off at Bronze level, there are four challenge levels for the USCs to work their way through: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The USCs have until February to complete their level's criteria before the successful clubs are invited to the award ceremony at the RYA Dinghy and Watersports Show. Each award-winning USC will be entered into a draw to win vouchers, sponsored by Rooster.
To see clubs return year-on-year to the Challenge and watching them develop through the four levels is fantastic to see - it remains incredibly popular with the university sailing clubs. So far, this year we've already had nineteen clubs sign-up to take part."
You can track the progress of this year's participating clubs on social media by following: #GreenBlueUniChallenge and @TheGreenBlue on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and @The_Green_Blue on Instagram.
