Thursday March 7th - 5:30pm - Hills Room, Student's Union.
Transition Strathclyde is a community based environmental project based at the University of Strathclyde. In our first few months we are researching the "lifestyle" carbon footprint of staff and students at the university - this is the impact associated with each individual's behaviour and lifestyle choices rather than emissions associated with the university's buildings and services. The areas we are focussing on are transport, waste, home energy and food.
The information we collect in this research will then be used to develop brand new carbon cutting projects in time to roll out for the new academic year in September 2013. We want the Strathclyde community to be at the heart of these projects and so we are running a focus group meeting in order to gather opinions and ideas on what will work best.
The focus group will run for a maximum of 2 hours with snacks and refreshments provided. The session will start by discussing the feasibility of some projects we have in mind before opening up the discussion to developing new ideas. All are welcome regardless of your previous involvement with enviromental affairs. Places are limited - participants will be awarded with a £20 Amazon voucher for their contributions.
