💚WOW! You've done us #GreenLibrariesWeek proud! We've hardly been able to keep up with all the planet-friendly activities! From carbon literacy training to bird feeder craft, bean sowing & junk modelling ...plus 100s more. Keep it coming over the weekend! librariesweek.org.uk/

Did you know that all new library members receive a biodegradable eco card? If you already have an older card, please keep using it to reduce waste. Our eco cards are just one way your library helps you to be sustainable 💚 #GreenLibrariesWeek @SurreyLibraries @librariesweek

Environmental sustainability and supporting our communities with information is really important to us at #Explore so it’s been great to share and focus on #GreenLibrariesWeek! After all there’s nothing greener than a library! #HereForYou @librariesweek

One square metre of our roof’s surface area will neutralise approximately 1.75kg of CO₂. Next time you’re here for an all-dayer, think of the hard work that’s also going on above your heads @cardiffuni! #greenlibrariesweek (4/4)

The new roof serves as a carbon savings and rainwater neutralising system, surfaced with a mineral granule which causes a chemical reaction to the CO₂ in rainwater, converting it to harmless silicon dioxide (SiO₂ i.e. sand), magnesium carbonate (inorganic salt) and water (3/4)

Did you know that a major part of our ASSL library refurb over the summer involved installing a new roof made from 100% recyclable materials with carbon reduction properties? #greenlibrariesweek (2/4)
