By choosing to travel actively and sustainably, you can reduce your carbon footprint and work with your fellow students and staff to reach Net Zero Carbon by 2035.
Sustainable and active travel means walking, wheeling, running, cycling, or using public transport. You can choose these methods to increase your health, get some exercise and to reduce your carbon emissions.
You can also help our 5X社区视频 to reduce our carbon emissions. Travel is an important area as we estimate that commuting to and from campus made up 9% of the 5X社区视频’s carbon footprint in 2018/19.
Use your commute to campus to save money and help us be one of the most sustainable universities in the world through EcoGo.
For every sustainable travel choice that you make you can earn money off at your favourite shops and leisure locations and help fight the climate crisis.

The EcoGo mobile application and website have been developed by BetterPoints. As EcoGo is an application which contains third party content this means that some aspects of the website and application accessibility are outside of the 5X社区视频’s control.
EcoGo is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, improvements are needed including improving colour contrast and some navigational issues. The 5X社区视频 is committed to making the EcoGo website and mobile app fully accessible and are actively working to address these issues. The 5X社区视频 is working with BetterPoints to improve accessibility in the new version of their app, which is currently in development.
If you have any trouble using or accessing parts of EcoGo, please contact us here: web-accessibility@sussex.ac.uk
