Vet Zero: Sustainability at the Royal Veterinary College with Rachel Ward


Listen Later

In this fascinating chat with Rachel Ward, Sustainability Manager at the Royal Veterinary College, London, I think we cover more issues than any other episode - not surprising given the wide variety of activity at the College: teaching buildings, 400 student rooms, a veterinary hospital and a farm with 200 head of cattle. 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


My only regret about this episode is bringing it to a close – Rachel kept providing more and more insights, so I should have kept things going...
