Green Week Quiz

We've had a great time doing GREEN WEEK. Raising awareness about environmental issues and running our BARGAIN CORNER.  
I'd like to say a BIG THANK YOU to the students who helped out this week  ... Maimuna, Areti, Moksha, Joshal, and Angel. 
Thanks also to Frank, my faithful right-hand-man who helped cover our sales on Tuesday whilst I was busy with the Well-Being Festival.

Our three days of Bargain Corner sales raised £89.30!!  
This money is fed directly back in to Chaplaincy run student activities.

Throughout the week we also ran our Green Week Quiz  ...  which 54  people took part in.  It's too late to enter, but if you wish to test your knowledge you'll find the questions below, with the announcement of winners and answers at the end of this post.
