Want £300,000 to make a change? The Students' Union is looking for your awesome ideas to make the world a better place.

The selected projects will receive the funding over two academic years and the fund will be used by Students’ Unions up and down the country to encourage sustainability initiatives.

You might have some great ideas on how to make travel to university more sustainable, or perhaps you’ve got a great idea about making students homes more eco-friendly. Maybe you’d like to partner up with Transport for Greater Manchester to improve cycle facilities for students, or you’d like to work with Manchester City Council to improve green spaces for future generations.
- In no more than 50 words, tell the Students' Union about your idea by Friday 10 May 2013. Think big!
