SYDNEY UNI

We've had a bit of a slow start this year. Right now we're re-strategising and trying to figure out what its gonna take to win this campaign.

But we did have a hott climate info day. Despite only advertising it a couple of days in advance it was pretty successful with a forum on 'Real and False Solutions to Climate Change', a vegie BBQ, stalls, a presentation on the history of our clean energy campaign and a screening of 'An Inconveinient Truth'. And the day before we had a joyful bike ride with yellow shirts around campus to keep the campaign visible and promote Climate infoday. There is so much interest in climate change at the moment, the question now is how to turn concern into action.

We also had a strategy session last week and honed in on four campaign focuses for the semester:
1. Mobilising and empowering students to get active on climate change through the clean energy campaign.
2. Keeping up the nasty business of lobbying University decision makers. But being really clever and knowledged up while we do it.
3. Exposing the links between our University and the fossil fuel and nuclear industry. We think vested interests are one of the reasons our uni is so reluctant to go green.
4. Politicising climate change. Thinking about the braoder idea of what its going to take to stop climate change, what barriers there are in our society to stop this happening and making links with oither on campus campaigns to build a cross collective student movement.

Hmmm now we just have to turn the strategy into super tactics and win (finally).
