Sustainable Campus Gotland
What does sustainability look like and how can we act to get there? At Campus Gotland, students and staff are working together to create ideas and solutions for a sustainable future.
Our online whiteboard shows ideas and visions collected to date, and provides a space for collaboration on sustainable initiatives on Campus.
Are you interested in getting involved or sharing ideas? Please contact us.

Campus Gotland Community Kitchen, CG_CK
Campus Gotland Community Kitchen (CG_CK) is a student initiative with the ambition to offer sustainable and affordable meals based on food products with short dates or which have been sorted out by stores for cosmetic reasons. The initiative was financed by Uppsala University's Climate Pot in 2022. During 2022 and 2023, the Campus Gotland Community Kitchen served sustainability lunches at Gotland Student Union Rindi's union house in Visby.

The Reuse Shelf
Reduce! Reuse! Recycle! We throw away too many things and make too much rubbish.
To reduce the pressure on the planet, we need to reduce our consumption and use what we already have. At the Resue Shelf, we try to become better at recycling things instead of throwing them away. Do you have something that you don't need but that could be used by someone else? Leave it here. But remember that things must be whole and clean!
With the Recycling Shelf, we want to draw attention to the second step in the Waste Hierarchy
- Reduce (purchase)
- Reuse
- Recycle
The Reuse Shelf is located on the ground floor in the B building.
A bike friendly campus
Do you need help with your bike? Now there is a toolbox to borrow for simple repairs on campus. Occasionally we also arrange workshops for students and staff who want to come together and fix their bikes. Follow Campus Gotland on social media for upcoming events.
To borrow the toolbox, please send an email to socialt@rindi.com
Campus Kitchen Garden
More food need to be locally produced to tackle the sustainability challenges. But how to grow food in a small area in the city? The Campus Gotland Kitchen Garden is located just outside the main entrance and open to everyone.
