Ecoversity Action Group Happenings

Should meetings start with a statement: we are meeting because...
and should those present agree that this meeting will help. If not should we all go and do something else instead?

Apparently the University uses 15000 tonnes (or is that tons) of CO2 each year. It is going to cost at least £150,000 in carbon tax if we do nothing about this. Some of the more interesting things that were mentioned today that could help:
recycling waste?
local action groups?
education for sustainable development?
sustainable purchasing?
food and drink?

Two silly things: why can't payslips be printed on recycled paper? (not why do we print payslips at all). Can someone make some recommendations on how to hold paperless meetings (if we ask certain people about that we are likely to end up with a paper on it).

Saving the planet? Maybe its small steps in a bigger journey
