Going Greener: Project Ideas
Behaviour change is key to transition
As much as transition is about preparing a community or institution for a lower-energy, low-carbon future, it’s also about individuals and communities taking responsibility and changing their own behaviour.
Figure out your university community’s biggest impacts (using the latest People & Planet Green League results). Then check out our Transition project ideas on everything from helping students save energy with the Big Green Makeover to providing students with access to good food at affordable prices with a Scoop on campus

Did You Know?
A carbon footprint study by Transition Edinburgh University’s Steering Group found that only 15% of their emissions came from the institution itself, compared with 85% from the uni community’s lifestyle. If you can get people changing carbon & energy-intensive elements of their behaviour at university, it can have a massive knock-on impact for the climate. Which key areas of behaviour change will you focus on first?
