Greenlines is the University of Cambridge’s sustainability newsletter. The newsletter is issued monthly and is primarily aimed at staff, although we encourage anyone interested to sign up. Greenlines provides information about all things sustainable going on around the University – from the construction of new buildings, to the projects going on in departments or Colleges, to events and opportunities.
Sign up to Greenlines
You can sign up to the newsletter through our easy web form. We are also always looking for contributions. Let us know what you and your department or College are doing to improve the sustainability of the University of Cambridge.
Want to write for Greenlines?
We welcome any and all potential submissions for Greenlines. If you have an article, event or opportunity you would like featured in the newsletter, please use the below templates and email your submissions to sustainability@admin.cam.ac.uk. Feel free to include any images, but make sure they are sized correctly according to our templates.
Please note, submitting content to the newsletter does not guarantee inclusion as we have to balance content. As a general rule, we only advertise University affiliated events and initiatives. This does not apply to research opportunities, internships or job vacancies.
Teaser Article: This should be between 100 and 200 words and could be a description of an upcoming event, research opportunity or job vacancy.
Summary article: This should be between 300 and 500 words. It could be a description of sustainability initiatives or a recap of a successful recent event.
Deep dive: This should be a longer form article, but no more than 1500 words. It could be an in depth article about a certain sustainability topic, a resource pack or a set of guidlines. It should also include a leading image (dimensions detailed in the template).
** NEW FOR 2022 **
The Student Newsletter Editorial Committee
We previously published two versions of Greenlines, one for staff and one for students. However we are now proud to announce that, in conjunction with Cambridge Zero, that we have launched a new climate and sustainability-focused newsletter, written by students for students, with the first edition scheduled for November. The newsletter will cover climate action at the University including research and operations. We will also be running a competition to decide the name and visual identity of the newsletter.

The Sustainability Team and Cambridge Zero Mailing List
We also have a joint mailing list that will be used on an ad hoc basis to share information about our programmes, events, paid opportunities and other news relevant to students interested in sustainability at the University.
