Green voices foster collaboration across our university community. This not only helps to strengthen our campus culture of change, but it also creates a united front against environmental challenges.
Meet a few more of these green voices, our Sustainability Champions, who, through their words and actions, are empowering students and staff to take initiative, and equipping them with the courage to become tomorrow’s change-makers.
- Ms Amanda Borg Ciantar, Senior Manager, Office for Human Resources Management & Development
When I think of sustainability, I believe/understand it refers to the responsible use of natural, social, and economic resources in a way that meets present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
In my daily activities, I try to put sustainability into practice by minimising waste at the office, reducing energy consumption, and making conscious choices such as walking, avoiding single-use plastics, and supporting local and ethical products. I also try to raise awareness about sustainability among peers and integrate sustainable thinking into academic and professional discussions.
As individuals making up the UM community, we can become more sustainable by adopting greener habits—such as reducing paper use, conserving energy, and recycling—as well as participating in initiatives that promote environmental and social responsibility. Furthermore, I believe there is room for our campus to become greener and more environmentally friendly by adding more trees and plants.

- Mr Kristian Grixti, Scientific Officer at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science
For me, sustainability means doing and reusing without increasing our carbon footprint, turning everyday actions into environmental impact—like personally collecting and sorting plastic.
Together with my colleagues, I collaborated with IT‑¸£ÀûÔÚÏßÃâ·Ñ to upcycle old metal racks and chassis, installing lab apparatus within them for the EMRG Lab Electromagnetics Projects—following circular economy principles by transforming waste into functional infrastructure.
We also transferred furniture units to other Departments for repurposing, extending their useful life. These efforts—reusing instead of discarding, reflect our commitment to shared, practical action that reduces emissions and preserves resources.
