There are only 4 of us in our group and we think it would be easier to just write letters to the university,without involving other students.
The 4 key campaign demands sound a bit, er,dull. Do you really think we can get lots of students involved?
How much will it cost the University to Go Green?
How does wrapping a length of crepe paper round a building make the world a better place?! I think it’s wasteful!

Our University has got the 4 factors in place already. What can we do?
What are a University’s areas of biggest environmental impact?
How does Go Green fit into People & Planet’s climate change campaign?
Why does this campaign target our local universities? Wouldn’t it be better if everyone focussed on one central body?

Our university already has an environmental policy. Does that mean we are already ‘Green’?
Our uni has just employed an energy manager. Is that the same as an environmental manager?
My university only has 5,000 students. Is it necessary to have a full time member of staff like at a university with 20,000 people?
