elephant LSBU

The elephant app

This is a sharing app for the London South Bank University staff and student community. Use it to find a new owner for the things you no longer need, and save our planet (and your money) by reusing things rather than buying them new.

The elephant app team

The elephant app has been developed by Nav Dhuti in partnership with London South Bank University's Sustainability Team and the Division of Computer Science and Informatics within the School of Engineering.

Our mission

It’s easy to take small steps to reduce your environmental impact – starting with reducing the consumption of goods! This app will help you find a new home for the things you no longer need, and save them from being thrown away.

Some of LSBU's biggest environmental, social and economic impacts are, unsurprisingly, a result of the everyday routines which keep LSBU running. Whether you are a student, a member of staff or a visitor, the choices you make during and after your time at LSBU have wide-ranging impacts. These include the use of energy and water, the way you travel and the consumption of goods from food and drink to clothing and computers.

Why elephant?

The app name was chosen as a tribute to the vital role elephants play in preserving their own habitats. By so doing, they help to maintain the natural environment.
