Best new society 2006/07!!

cheers for everyones support and hard work

The Caledonian Environmental Society was formed due to the lack of activity and percived lack of importance that the university as a whole places upon the issues of sustainability and our environmental impact.

We have meeting in the pub which last untill 4am when we get kicked out a club. But we're good when sober.

next year we'll be tryin to get money saved by reducing the print outs we need for courseworks, saving electricity etc are redeployed into sports and other events for students.The energy bill for the uni is going to be £1.5 million, everyone can make a difference, get the money better spent and do your bit!

Reduce - the amount of energy you use, printouts, PC monitors off
Reuse - double sided printing where possible
recycle - more dedicated and clearer recycling

The Inconvienent Truth is showing in c236 on wednesday th of March, this free event is open to all staff and students!
New Uni Mandate
Basically we playfully nudged the uni into signing up to this...aren't we clever? We believe that it is possible for this institution to improve its environmental performance through increased investment and utilisation of the experience and expertise of staff within the environment centre. We support for the following aims:
1.
1. That new buildings and refurbishment work in existing buildings exceeds the weak environmental standards currently subscribed to. New buildings should be designed to reduce energy costs with sustainable construction a key component in all work.
2
2. That the university should ensure that 30% of all energy needs within the campus be sourced from renewable energy supplies at the time of the signing of the next tender contract. This exceeds the current level of 10% from renewable sources.
3
3. The university should consider creating a full time professional environmental officer to ensure the highest possible performance in all areas (recycling, energy efficiency, building standards etc), at all times is achieved. Over a 10 day period, one third of all electrical appliances were switched on at night when not in use. In just 10 days, this cost £6000. In 365 days that figure is nearly £220, 000. Any additional costs incurred through the investments above can be paid for simply by switching off appliances when not in use leaving additional money to fund further environmental initiatives. In addition, we believe it is vital that any efforts by the students are recognised, and that a suitable percentage of money from energy saving are re-directed into the Glasgow Caledonian Students Association Welfare Department.
