I’ll change one trip per week M-POWER CAMPAIGN Doing good with M-Power We know that passion and the participation of University students and staff are integral to the successful implementation of initiatives for sustainability. With this in mind, Macquarie University’s M-Power sustainability program provides a fun and meaningful way for our community to focus on improving key lifestyle areas, such as waste, transport and volunteering. M-Power provides staff and students with practical education, tips, ideas and resources for creating life-long behaviour change, which in turn makes a positive difference and builds the culture of sustainability at Macquarie University. And you can transfer these skills and tips into your personal life as well for an all over win-win! So let’s get working on creating a movement of doing good! 

Why get involved? It’s about doing good … for you … for others … and for the planet …to create a better future! At it’s heart sustainability is about doing good – for you, for others and for the planet. There’s something in there that everyone can connect with! Because when you think about it, who doesn’t want to create a better future. MACQUARIE SUSTAINABILITY
