If you think this episode is a bit niche, think again. Rachel is responsible for Sustainability across a number of public buildings (some listed), 400 rooms of accommodation, a hospital and a farm with 200 head of cattle and a flock of sheep. Imagine dealing with high-GWP anaesthetic gases one day, soil carbon the next, and reusing student fancy dress outfits the day after. Rachel manages a veritable smorgasbord of Sustainability issues and is a real inspiration – here’s a taste of what we cover:

• Facilitating reuse between generations of students and charities
• Low carbon anaesthesia
• Smart bins to boost recycling rates
• Sustainable agriculture: biodiversity, soil carbon and climate adaptation
• Using quirky stories to capture people’s imaginations
• Becoming hedgehog friendly
• Decarbonising listed buildings and using novel building technologies
