Some of the successes of Plymouth’s sustainable revolution are now on display at the heart of the University of Plymouth campus.

An eye-catching mural has been created on the side of the Sustainability Hub, depicting a number of the city’s best known landmarks.

It shows a number of net-zero projects and activities that the University has already implemented, including the increased use of renewable energy sources and the harvesting of rainwater to support our water saving strategy.

It also connects existing and possible future projects from around the city, including efforts to restore seagrass habitats in Plymouth Sound, a vision for more tree planting initiatives, a drive for greener transport and efforts to promote the circular economy. 

The mural - which can be viewed by members of the public as well as staff and students - has been created with the Net-Zero Visions project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and led by Dr David Sergeant and Dr Emma Whittaker.
